Pezzi Rinato is a custom eco-friendly line designed to show that fashion can have a passion. Funding goes towards material purchasing.

Hello!

First off, I want to say THANKS for checking out my project! This is my passion and I am so excited to be sharing it with the world! I am a clothing and accessory designer in Milwaukee, WI with an environment friendly line called, Pezzi Rinato.  Pezzi Rinato means "Pieces Reborn."  This is a name I chose because it explains the core concept of my line.  All materials used are either scrap pieces that would have only occupied a landfill or, like most of my fabrics, pieces that are being repurposed.  

Way too often, a trend comes and goes-seemingly overnight!  That piece that you HAD to have, now gathers webs in the back of a closet until eventually, it ends up at either a second hand store with 15 of the same item that no one will ever buy or it is simply thrown out.  What my line strives to do is:

  • Give that out of date piece a second chance to be in style
  • Use the materials already in existence before creating new ones
  • Respect the environment by being as low impact as possible
  • Create something totally unique and custom
  • Show that recycled materials can look fiercely fabulous

My goal is to get the funding to purchase materials for next season's designs. Please feel free to check out my bio to learn more about my story and my Facebook page to see more Pezzi Rinato photos!
