[Daniel San]

now those went fast , wow

[TeflonDon]

Yep, that didn’t take long.

[Lynne]

@TeflonDon They did! I’m already working on the next batch. There should be another five released in January.

Thank you to everyone who’s ticked the ‘Relove Offcuts’ box and everyone who’s Reloved their shirts! I love seeing these fabrics being repurposed

[Jord]

@Lynne This is so creative and you're doing an excellent job! Keep em coming!

[Lynne]

@Jord thank you - the whole team have an input from sourcing fabrics to being muses, photography to product creation, adding snaps to marketing etc etc And we wouldn’t be able to do it without customers reloving their shirts…more shirts please! ️

[Grim]

@Lynne These are awesome, what a great idea! Looking forward to the January drop.

[Lynne]

@Grim thank you! That truly means a lot. There’ll possibly be 3 indigos, 1 black and 1 duck coming…just need a few more offcuts

New! Swatch Bag – Bespoke Lining Option (Your Shirt)

We’re considering offering a bespoke lining option for the Swatch Bag and wanted to gauge interest.

You’d be able to send in your own beloved worn Iron Heart shirt, which I’d use to line the bag (see pics below).

The outer shell would still be made from Relove hemming offcuts, with a choice of indigo, black, or duck depending on availability. Nb: exact fabric composition can’t be specified, but I will liaise with you and send a progress shot so you know what you are getting.

There would be a $50 premium, reflecting the extra communication/s and work involved in adjusting the bag to suit each individual shirt.

Shirt condition:
This isn’t about perfect garments. Worn cuffs and elbows, tired collars, stains, small holes under the arms are all fine. As long as the shirt is freshly laundered and the main body is intact, it can usually work.

How it would work:
• Message me with a brief description, of your shirt, pit-to-pit size and photos
• I’ll confirm shirt suitability and what denim/canvas I have, before an order is created and anything needs to be sent
• Any leftover shirt fabric stays with us and feeds back into the wider Relove project

We will not be offering any other customisations at this stage.

Quick question:
Would you be interested?
1. Definitely – I’ve got a shirt in mind
2. Maybe – would want to discuss first
3. I’d stick with the original Swatch Bag
4. Not for me, but I like the idea

1, 2, 3 or 4? Please feel free to comment or get in touch to discuss a specific shirt ️

Nice one @Lynne

[Grim]

I’m definitely interested, just have to wait for one of my shirts to have a bit more wear.
