About the practice

Purple Aster branded clothing features one-of-a-kind pieces that are designed and hand-crafted in-house. These unique pieces are crafted from recycled, re-worked and up-cycled clothing and fabric that could no longer be mended. All embroidered pieces are created with original patterns I draft and hand-stitch myself. No two are ever the same, nothing is ever wasted. Purple Aster does vintage with intention. All unique vintage items are personally sourced, carefully curated and restored to nearly new condition. Every item is meticulously checked inside and out. Items are deep cleaned, holes and seams are mended, fabric is restored, buttons, zippers and elastics are replaced. Vintage is more than a resale business to us, we care deeply about people and the planet. Our intention is to reduce textile waste, keep clothing and other fabric items in circulation as long as possible, and provide our customers with quality items that are an investment. No item is beyond saving. We see a future that isn't covered in mountains of cheap unwanted clothing and perfectly good discarded fabric. We just want to make the world a little bit cuter and a little bit cleaner, one garment at a time.
