Upcycled Fashion & Sustainable Design
Here at Ellemichelle, I have a new and exciting design process: upcycling re-claimed vintage scarves into beautiful products for your modern life.
I source vintage scarves from the past, cleaned them, checked for damage, and transform them into something unique and stunning.
Why Buy Upcycled Products
As a designer, my choice to upcycle pieces by reusing textiles to create new items helps off-set the accumulation of global garment waste and pollution.
The average American throws out roughly 82 pounds of textile waste a year.
Each time you purchase something that has been sourced from an existing textile, you help alleviate the impact of fashion waste on our planet.
Do you know new textile production is one of the main pollutants in the fashion industry?
Not only does reusing old textiles keeps “outdated’ fashion out of the landfill, it cuts out the chemical wastewater pollution that happens through the dyeing and finishing process of new textiles.

Supporting The Slow Fashion Movement
When was the last time you stopped to ask who made your clothes?
At Ellemichelle it’s me!
I make upcycled pieces the slow way, by focusing on quality sewn products.
Each Ellemichelle piece is developed from upcycled, recycled, and deadstock fabrics, curated in a small- batch production environment to support the Slow Fashion Movement.
