Love, Wildflower OR Kooky Skeletons ??
Upcycled Knit Bodysuit | Size: Medium | Original Brand: Lulu’s
This upcycled knit bodysuit is embroidered with over 80,000 stitches. A design that took many hours of careful setup and stitching to bring to life. The blooms flow across the fabric like a garden in motion, framing the feminine figure - making this not just clothing, but wearable art.
Every detail reflects the time, precision, and creativity poured into it a true one-of-one piece you won’t see again.
This piece will qualify for free shipping. Just use the code FREESHIPPING at checkout!
Upcycled White Cropped Tank Top | Size: Large | Brand: HYFVE
Bright as a summer morning, this thrifted cropped white tank has been freshly adorned with over 10,000 stitches—forming four sunflowers that bloom across its straight neckline. Each flower is a little reminder of warmth, joy, and golden light.
Style it with your favorite jean jacket and cutoffs for an easy sunny-day look, or pair it with a breezy skirt to carry a touch of summer’s glow wherever you go.
Upcycled Denim Button Up | Small | Express Men’s
Made for the Love, Wildflower collection. With 5 locations of small, subtle blooms and metallic gold and bronze thread, this strong and subtle floral adds that extra special something to this already closet staple.
Although originally sold as a men’s shirt, any body can wear this classic. Only one available!
Rest In Pinot with this heavy weight tote bag that features a roomy main compartment for wine runs or market hauls, a hidden pocket for your essentials, and a handy strap with a metal hook so your keys don’t ghost you. Sturdy enough for a bottle (or three), cute enough for coffee dates, farmers markets, or an impromptu picnic under the moon.
Upcycled Jean Shorts | Size: Medium | Brand: JBD.
Nearly 49,000 stitches bring these upcycled jean shorts to life with blooming florals that turn denim into a canvas. Flowers peek playfully from behind the pocket, as if they’re sprouting from the seams, while a hidden garden unfurls just below the waistband in back. An artful surprise from every angle. A one-of-a-kind piece, once it’s gone, it’s gone forever.
Pair this trendy jean short with a cropped tee and sneakers on warm days, or slip a slouchy sweatshirt and beanie for a cooler weather look.
Upcycled Thrifted Unworn Oversized Crew Neck | Size: L | Original Brand: Smart Blanks Reserve
At this point - we will all still be working even in the afterlife. You only live and die once, might as well enjoy your grind. Pair this nearly 44,000 stitch piece with some wide leg jeans and a beanie for a trendy, relaxed look. Or leggings, sneakers, and a messy bun for those work from home days. This sweatshirt is so comfortable you’ll have to pry it out of your dead hands.
With approximately 5,000 stitches, this beanie is perfect for the cooler months of spooky season. Pair with a black top, jeans and a sneaker for a good bone cacklin’ time.
Only one available - once it’s gone, its gone forever.
