Patti Bruno Rivero, owner

At the beginning

Josie Bruno was my MOM. She was a seamstress and avid collector of vintage. Mom taught me to sew at a very young age and the passion for cutting and sewing fabric scraps began with baby scissors and a Barbie doll.

Retail  

After 25 years in and around the retail industry, I left my job and turned my “hobby” of sewing into a business and have not looked back since. I truly know what it means to “do what you love”.

Sustainable Fashion, Zero Waste 

I curate a mix of vintage and current fabrics to create a truly one of a kind garment.  All excess jacket parts are recycled into linings and trims. Finishing are always hand sewn.  

Recyle, Recreate, Redesign

Each jacket is rescued, washed, conditioned and brought back to life. All existing patches and name tags are preserved and the wear and tear of the jacket reflects its history.

Handmade

I am proud to say that I sew every jacket in my collection. Some may be the finishing stitches only and some may take over 18 hours of hand sewing. One thing is for sure, I work on every piece.
