Reap What You Sow: A Testament to the Lives Behind Luxury
Reap What You Sow is more than just a bag—it is a sculptural narrative stitched from the remnants of a system that thrives on excess and forgets the cost. Made entirely from discarded ostrich leather scraps, this piece speaks to the silent violence of consumer culture: the lives taken, the materials wasted, and the stories erased. Ostrich leather, prized for its texture and exclusivity, becomes here not a symbol of status, but a canvas of critique.
Every seam and scrap in this bag honors the animals skinned in the name of luxury, only for their hides to be tossed aside in the name of profit margins and seasonal turnover. In the leather industry alone, millions of animals are killed each year—many of them exotic or endangered species—yet an alarming percentage of their skins are never used, left to rot due to overproduction or imperfections that render them “unsellable” by luxury standards.
This bag is intentionally imperfect. It embraces the off-cuts, the unwanted, the overlooked. It asks: What does it mean to desire something that required a life to be taken? And what does it say about us when we discard even that?
In a world where fashion often prioritizes speed, polish, and marketability, Reap What You Sow acts as a visual reckoning—a reminder that nothing truly disappears, and that every choice made in design has a consequence. This project reclaims waste not just as material, but as meaning.
Rooted Resistance: A Moss-Built Dialogue Between Fashion and the Earth
Rooted Resistance is a wearable installation composed of a moss-covered bag and shoes, created to disrupt the traditional boundaries between fashion, nature, and sustainability. This project emerges as a living critique of a system that extracts endlessly from the Earth without giving back. By working with natural materials—organic moss, soil, and biodegradable components—the piece invites reflection on our disconnection from the land and the environmental cost of modern consumer habits.
In a global industry that produces over 100 billion garments each year, the fashion system is among the most polluting in the world, responsible for massive water waste, chemical runoff, and landfill overflow. Rooted Resistance responds to this crisis not by proposing another product, but by reimagining what fashion can mean—not as ornamentation, but as grounding. The moss, alive and delicate, covers each object like a skin, signaling both renewal and fragility. It reclaims the space fashion has taken from the Earth, offering a vision where growth replaces waste and decay is part of the cycle.
Rather than rejecting beauty, the piece redefines it. There is beauty in slowness, in care, in decay. In allowing nature to take up space—literally and symbolically—Rooted Resistance challenges us to reconsider what we wear, why we wear it, and at whose expense. It is a love letter to the planet, but also a warning: If we do not return to the roots, there may be no ground left to stand on.
Bag of Bones - Made from Mohair yarn - sterling silver addidives
Rezip: A Second Life in Seams - By giving discarded materials a new life—like repurposing old zippers into a shirt and bag I aimed to make a quiet yet powerful commentary on consumerism, fast fashion, and the value we assign to what’s considered "waste." Each stitch reclaims what was once overlooked, transforming functional remnants into wearable reflection.
Stitch work for Cloned Alone's Bunny Hoodies serves as both a design feature and a statement—confronting the wasteful habits of the fashion industry and its continued exploitation of animals. Each piece is crafted to spark conversation, blending playful aesthetics with critical commentary.
