18th Birthday Quarantine Shirt

The designer works with customers to find styles, colorways, or patchwork combinations that fit their personal style. “I’ve always loved patchwork,” she says of her signature fabrication. Since James uses scraps of old sportswear T-shirts, and mixes in textures from other vintage pieces she finds, the 18th Birthday Quarantine Shirt But I will love this result is a one-of-one creation. James has built up relationships with wholesale suppliers, so that she can spend less time scouring for vintage pieces and more time on the design process. Wholesalers such as Wholesale Vintage Fashion will send her boxes of unsold sports merch before donating them to places such as Goodwill. Some of the pieces she uses are decades old. “Some of the tees are from the ‘90s or early 2000s,” she says. “I can tell from the tags.”

James says the 18th Birthday Quarantine Shirt But I will love this craze for her pieces comes down to comfort. “It’s in between being comfortable and also being something that you might not see on anyone else,” she says of her line. James also says the fact that her clothes are eco-minded, in that she repurposes clothes that would otherwise be discarded or forgotten, is another selling point. She says, “You can still be fashionable while trying to save the world.”
