Audrey Acosta Designs

We specialize in the eco-friendly practice of repurposing textiles. Repurposing textiles refers to the art of using vintage, antique or used fabrics in the construction of new designs. The ultimate result is a piece of unique clothing that represents the best of both worlds—old and new.

Our path to find vintage textiles leads us to India, where there we collect the most eye-catching vintage fabric that we can find. It is from these stunning textiles that we cut all of our pieces and upcycle them into one of our fabulous designs.

Working with repurposed textiles takes a lot of love, patience, time, and dedication. Unlike new fabric, each piece of vintage fabric we collect is unique and requires ingenuity and creativity to work with, as well as a strong commitment to this method of green fashion.

Given the great amount of time needed to work with reclaimed materials and the difficulty of designing one-of-a-kind pieces, there are only a number of clothing companies who dedicate themselves to this method of fashion. Many of these businesses are like us, supporters of the green fashion movement who see amazing design opportunities in recycled materials.

Repurposing textiles is just one approach to green design. In our current collection, we are bring new life to recycled vintage silks and recycled vintage cottons. Next year, we hope to broaden our upcylcing passion to offer our customers even more choices of re-utilized fabrics. In addition, we look forward to expanding our methods and utilize other earth-friendly fabrics as well as natural dyes in future collections.
