Unpopular opinion (or is it?). I dislike the word "upcycled." To me, it sounds contrived and pretentious.
Hence, these jean jackets, that are coming to my booth on the second floor at Magpie Collective tomorrow, are not "upcycled." Just thrifted, laundered, patched, painted, and turned into fun, one-of-a-kind pieces that you'll enjoy wearing!
Broken in and comfy, they can be machine-washed and tumbled dry (though I hang my painted jackets to dry for longevity's sake).
If you had a painted jean jacket, what motif would you have on it?
I have a Frida Kahlo one, and one with the logo of my favorite Eagles tribute band.
