ONLINE STORE
As an anti-capitalist, I offer my work sliding scale and allow people to pay between what they think it’s worth and what they can afford. Check out this green bottle scale graphic below to figure out where you fall on the scale. If the photo is on this page, the item is still available. I am always open for custom orders if you send me a colors, inspo pics, budget, and timeline.
To purchase, send me an email to Corinne.loperfido@gmail.com and include a photo(s) of the item(s) you are interested in and I can send more photos & measurements if desired. Include in your email 1. what you love about the piece 2. how much you are offering to pay (include $5-10 shipping please) & 3. if you’d like to use one of these 3 options : Venmo, PayPal, or cash app. Local pick up + cash available in San Marcos & Austin, Texas. I use reused packaging to wrap + ship items and always send the cheapest way, along with tracking # confirmation after item is shipped.

Tshirt Word Clothes : Prices in captions
I take clothes that would be otherwise thrown away, things the thrift store was getting rid of or donations from my professional organizing clients, and #1 fix / mend / replace buttons if needed and then add on some kind of words or other combine other upcycled textiles to make the clothes more interesting. If I modify something like cutting off the bottom of a sweater to make it a crop, I try and use the fabric on the garment itself by moving it to the shoulder to make ruffles and change the silhouette without creating textiles waste. Sizes, fabric types, and sliding scale ranges for each item is in the caption if you click on the images.
100% cotton tote bags
I get these tote bags second hand, wash them, fix and holes or broken straps, and use fabric & tshirt letters to collage on top of them over ugly logos nobody asked for. Prices and sizes in caption if you click on each image.
Pee Rags : $50 for 50 rags in bag
I find used colorful towels and use the serger to sew them into squares. I use TP for poop in my composting toilet but I have been using pee rags for pee since 2018 and I can say it is amazing. I have a place to put the used rags next to my toilet and I simply throw them in the hot wash with my towels and sheets and they last for years, no need for a separate wash cycle, it’s just a little pee! Pee rags save old beach towels from going to the landfill AND save trees by cutting down on TP usage majorly. Great for camping, great for the earth, no more TP crud in your labia…. It’s a win win.
