Sarah is the designer and maker behind Rekindle. She began her career designing clothing for large companies, then left to pursue a more human connection as a high school art teacher. Design kept calling her back. She founded Rekindle to combine the two: creating thoughtful, handmade pieces that give used materials a second life. She designs and sews every piece by hand in her NWA studio.

About the practice
Every piece begins with a material that already has a history. We source thrifted, deadstock, and bolt ends from brands, and vintage and estate pieces. Jeans, curtains, wool, and clothing that once had another life all end up on the worktable. From there, we work intuitively. Rather than starting with a rigid plan, we let each material lead. A pocket, a faded star, or a bold wool pattern often becomes the starting point for the whole design. Everything is cut, pieced, and stitched by hand in our Northwest Arkansas studio, with close attention to the details you notice up close. Because no two materials are alike, no two pieces are either. The result is one-of-one bags, accessories, and clothing that are leather-free, made to be carried, and made to be passed on. Rekindle is a reaction to disposable fast fashion, and a small, handmade answer to a very big problem. Every piece we make is one less thing headed to a landfill and one more thing built to last.. What was once disposable becomes lasting. The things we own are only ours for part of their journey. Rekindle keeps that journey going.
