THRIFT's Branching into Accessories

Check out our latest most innovative crafty creation! Thrift has been working on a line of interesting wearable pieces of art. These creative rings are inspired by the summer that will soon begin to surround us. We have utilized victorian, nautical and bohemian inspiration for this line of incredibly chic and very fun rings! They range in price from 5-10 bucks each plus shipping and handling! Definitely take a look at: http://www.thegoodfind.etsy.com/!

As always the rings are eco-friendly and made from already existing and recycled material, using vintage earrings, pins & knick knacks into hip & trendy rings!

Happy Shopping Thrifters!

Go Green This Spring

March has most suprisingly appeared in a regal manner! We are now another month closer to the lovely weather of Chicago Spring. March is also a fun time to go green, in both the literal and environmentally friendly way as well!

It is the month of St. Patty's Day after all and wouldn't it be fun to dress up in a lil' green yourself for this holiday while promoting an environmentally positive effort such as THRIFT??!!

Well, Thrifters, I say take a risk and join your fellow Irish men and women and look fabulously mean (not angry, but definitely fierce) in green this St. Patty's Day! Thrift has some very sexy and chic green pieces to choose from:

Pick up the schmancy and add some incredibly skinny dark denim for a very sexy yet bikeresqe feel. OR you can look o-so-cute in our girlscout hand painted skirt! Take a look at http://www.thegoodfind.etsy.com/ for other fun pieces to add to your spring wardrobe! Enjoy the week all!

Keeping Vintage Fashion Eco-Friendly

As I was doing some trend research for the upcoming seasons I came across some great ideas for the upcoming seasons. The best of all these ideas was the idea of “Conservation Couture”. Conservation Couture can be seen in vintage work wear, eco-friendly and repurposeful products. As we all know, Mother Earth definitely needs some loving and we at Thrift think we are helping out with our creations.

As Thrift continues its search for vintage finds to reconstruct into great unique and contemporary items, a thought always comes across our minds as designers. Why are we creating this? Of course, we are doing this because these are items that we have been looking for, BUT I think I would like to say we are doing it to serve a higher purpose. By reconstructing vintage garments we are doing our part to keep our Earth green and happy!

Thrift is basically repurposing the vintage garments we find by recreating them into new styles of clothing that can be used again. We are not generating waste by manufacturing new items and we keep the recycling process going by only creating one of kind pieces that are never mass produced. This keeps the integrity and exclusivity of the line while keeping the line eco-friendly!

Thrift is constantly searching out more vintage items to reconstruct and add to the line!
Keep an eye out for our Spring 2009 line to be premiered in a little over a week! Make us your friend on myspace at: www.myspace.com/thegoodfind OR find your own one of a kind good find that is eco-friendly and o’ so chic at: http://www.thegoodfind.etsy.com/!

Till we talk again my friends!
