Blink and you’ll miss it! Grateful for my cosy home ‘studio’. Here’s a tour of it Currently prepping bags, coasters, keyrings, hats. The bags contain 2/3/4” indigo/black/duck offcuts for swatch bags; and strips of denim to be transformed into belt loop.

@Giles I have a Steve who makes a mean pair of STF stretchy lounge trousers to eat bread in. Your bread, his loungewear - a perfect combo️

@worn2fade Congratulations - have a beautiful day! Do share your recipe (I have a bread maker too )

@PeteC Lovely, thank you!

@PeteC Thank you! That’s great. Does it have gusseted sides or is it flat?

@PeteC Noted!

@PeteC Thank you! Though I’d hate for it to go astray in transit, so please hold on to it.
If you could send pics and measurements that would be fantastic

@PeteC this may be something we can make from IH Relove fabrics too. Could you send me some more photos, 360 including the insides and in use ie with a phone etc in place, along with measurements and I’ll have a look at making a sample. What would you improve?

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 ️

@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

Steve and I are coming over – v excited!

We’ll be in New York for a few days, then hopping over to Memphis for a short stop. We know it’s a fair bit of travel for not a lot of time, but that’s cool with us.

At the moment we’ve potentially got Tuesday afternoon/evening and all day Wednesday in Memphis, then flying to Baltimore early Thursday. Rough plan is Graceland in the morning, Stax in the afternoon, and a blues club one evening.

Would love any tips from people who know the city – places to stay, eat, drink, must-see spots, or general travel advice. (If there are lots of recommendations, we could always add another day.)

All recommendations very welcome.

@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! ️

@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

2 with pockets, 3 without ️

Have a great big birthday Mo! x
