Thriftkins: imperfect friends for imperfect days

"I make one-of-a-kind, wabi-sabi little friends out of the landfill-destined clothes real people wore and loved. Mouths from sleeve cuffs. Tongues from sweatpants. Teeth from tube socks. Ears from sweater hems. Nothing matches, and that’s the point. 

Time’s are wack. You want something that feels like it came from a human… or maybe from under your bed. Not another 3D printed dragon. Something one a kind, just like you, snookums. 

You deserve a little treat that feels good and does good, taking landfill destined clothing and turning it into cherished, lovable art. That’s Thriftkins! Handmade slowly and intentionally, right here in my Columbus, Ohio studio." -Brandon Love, Artist behind Thriftkins.com
