My designs are for colorful personalities who value environmentally-conscious artisanal craftsmanship and meaningful human connection over mass production and blind consumerism.
.
With conscious consumption of materials as the compass for exploring creative ways of utilizing what already exists, Worthy Rubble features an evolving collection of one-off garments, re-worked apparel, and botanical vessels all made from reimagined materials.
.
A respect for the natural world along with a patience for repair and reinterpretation are at the heart of this venture.
.
All one-of-a-kind products are slowly handcrafted from salvaged glass, single-use plastics, textile dead stock, reimagined remnants, and discarded clothing. Intentionally in contrast with throw-away culture and the destructive practices of fast-fashion & mass production, I strive to create heirloom quality treasures from existing materials constructed with a durability that can be passed on for generations to come.
.
For all new/custom-made clothing & bedding, only natural fibers will be used (linen, cotton, silk, hemp) for the purpose of avoiding the contribution of new microplastics into our water systems. As a zero-waste type of gal, any remaining scraps are always upcycled into one-of-a-kind products. All salvaged fabrics made with synthetic fibers will be reserved only for items that do not need machine washing.
.
CIRCULARITY:: If you wear some holes into your garment or bump a crack into your glass piece - don't let that be the end! I would love the opportunity to mend/repair this for you. Don't hesitate to get in touch with me & we can work it out!!
.
Even if you have an item of clothing NOT purchased here that is in need of some love, I am all for it. Check out the Mending Request Form by visiting: http://www.earthwhilecollective.com/ or by clicking the link down below for shop-website.

I'm a proud cofounder of Earthwhile Collective, an art & natural science collaborative effort focused on re-imagining materials and cleaning up what's left behind. Check out http://www.earthwhilecollective.com/ to see what we're all about:)

Please carefully read full description & measurements BEFORE placing your order and contact me with any possible questions or concerns.
I stand by my work and I want you to buy with confidence.
I do NOT want you to be forced to keep something I've made if you don't love it. I put a lot of passion & time into all of my one-of-a-kind items, and if you decide (within 7 days of receiving it) that it's not for you, then by all means -
SEND MY BABY BACK TO ME!
*Customer is responsible for return shipping costs and any loss in value if an item isn't returned in original condition.
Each item is documented before being shipped. Please, no funny bizniz.
.
RETURNS for made-to-order-items::
** Because of the nature of made-to-order garments, I cannot accept returns because of fit and orders will be final. Garment measurements are given for each piece, so please be sure to look at these closely BEFORE placing your order. It is the customer's responsibility to measure themselves. I want you to buy with confidence so if you have any questions at all, feel free to get in touch and I can help you determine the correct size.
.
I don't offer exchanges, as it is less confusing to first refund and ask the customer to then make a new order.
I accept cancellations for Ready-to-ship items if it has not yet been shipped, and for Made-to-order items only if it has not yet been made :)
