Fashionably Green 1 is not just my business name, it's my lifestyle. I'm a self-taught, sustainably conscious, eco-chic upcycling fashionista.
Recreating something out of discarded or broken items has been a passion of mine since my childhood.
I once designed an entire Fashion Show for charity out of upcycled items, including each individual piece of the hand crafted jewelry.
I've won an Arizoni award for Hair Design for a set of wigs which I styled with upcycled "non-conventional" items for a Theatrical Play.
I've produced and directed several Fashion Markets, Festivals all incorporating on-street Fashion Shows which utilized reclaimed fashion and unconventional items repurposed into stylish Runway worthy pieces.
Now I'm working on fun fashion accessories which will help to keep my pile of reclaimed treasures from ending up in the landfill too early.
As a reseller of vintage, my broken jewelry collection has grown so big that I'm hosting a Bag Charm Chain making workshop and would love for you to join me.
I'll bring the rainbow of reclaimed broken or mismatched vintage estate + costume jewelry, the tools and the hardware to make it look professionally created.
You bring you, your besties and anyone that you may think needs to have more silly fun in their life right now.
Our time together will be spent crafting purse, bag charms or bag chains while sipping and nibbling on light snacks and hopefully laughing the night away.
There may be some drilling, working with pliers and lots of small O rings, depending on the pieces that you choose to work with.
I'll bring the supplies and the party, so you can focus on the fun of creating.
Each collection of charms will be personally curated by you, ensuring that you create something that's unique to your liking, on a first come first serve basis.
I'm not a professional; so you don't need to be either. I'm self taught and have been upcycling for over 4 decades so Let's Do This!
