DISMANTLED APPAREL
BRINGING NEW LIFE TO THE WORN-IN AND THE WELL-LOVED.
Founded in 2020, Dismantled Apparel focuses on sourcing secondhand garments, dismantling them into raw materials, and rebuilding them into something new through innovative dye techniques, pattern mixing, and fabric manipulation. Every piece is handmade and unique.
After taking a few years away, 2025 marks a renewed beginning for DA, now expanding beyond one-of-a-kind creations to include alterations, repairs, visible mending, and education, all in service of a larger mission: How can we make our garments last as long as possible?
I truly believe that sustainability is (and must) be the future of fashion, and building Dismantled Apparel is my love letter to a better world.

Backed by years of sewing and design experience, I specialize in altering, repairing, and mending clothing and textiles to give them a longer life. See our alterations & repair menu here.

By using raw materials from pre-existing garments, I create something entirely new and one-of-a-kind. Shop our handcrafted items here, or contact us for custom pieces.
