Born from the forgotten edges, transformed into something unforgettable.
This button-down tells the story of resourceful creativity—starting with a small-scale textile collage crafted entirely from ankara fabric selvedges, those discarded strips left behind from bag-making. What others might see as scraps, we saw as possibility.
The intricate pattern of boxed X's emerges from these salvaged edges, each one carrying the subtle horizontal texture lines that mark where the original fabric met the loom. The result is a sophisticated design that whispers rather than shouts—muted beige and stone tones dancing with deep navy blue in perfect, quiet harmony.
The magic continues across the garment: sleeves, pocket, and collar echo the motif at a larger scale, creating visual rhythm and movement. It's a masterclass in taking something small and precious and letting it breathe across an entire piece.
This is sustainability made beautiful—proof that the most compelling designs often come from the margins, from what's left behind, from seeing potential where others see waste.

This is a Preorder — Made Just for You!
I’ve teamed up with a small-batch manufacturer to create limited-edition shirts, sweatshirts, and tote bags featuring my original designs.
When you place your order during this special preorder window, I’ll gather all orders and have them produced in one big batch. Why? Because I want to include my signature handmade touch — a fabric collage and handwritten note — with every package. That means everything ships from me, not the factory.
Preorders are open until August 16th, and items will ship out from Brooklyn 4–5 weeks later — likely in mid to late August. As soon as they arrive from the manufacturer, I’ll ship them to you right away. You’ll get a tracking number the moment your order hits the mail.
These pieces are made just for you and won’t be available again this season — don’t miss out!
There are no refunds and no returns on this item. Check the size chart carefully.
