The "Lumiere" Crewneck - Upcycled Crewneck w/ Handmade Jack O-Lantern Appliquéd Patch

Named after the dog, Lumiere, available for adoption through The Minnesota Golden Valley Animal Humane Society, this vintage Fruit of the Loom grey crewneck is upcycled with an appliquéd Jack O'Lantern made from a cutter quilt. Each gourd is hand drawn, cut, and sewn by Sofi to make each piece completely one of a kind. The quilted Jack O'Lantern is sewn down using 100% mercerized cotton.

Due to the reclaimed nature of the materials, stains and minor cosmetic flaws are to be expected. However, I do my best to reference all the flaws in the photos.

SECONDHAND MATERIAL DISCLAIMER

Each piece is made as sustainably as possible with the intention to not add more fabric to the landfill and an attempt to be as close to zero-waste as possible. I source all of the clothing from thrift stores, yard sales, estate sales, and other secondhand pathways, and all of the quilted pieces, quilts, and remnants are also second-hand. I also try to source as much of my sewing thread and embroidery thread second-hand as much as possible, while reusing packaging materials as well.

CARE INSTRUCTIONS:

Due to the vintage and delicate nature of the upcycled materials and quilt patches, these pieces are hand-wash and line or rack dry only. I also recommend spot cleaning when possible to extend the life of your garment or accessory.

TWO HOWLING LABS GUARANTEE:

If the embroidery thread* comes undone, each piece comes with a lifetime guarantee and I will repair the stitching free of cost. For handmade items, I will repair any rips or tears that occur due to improper stitching or manufacturing.

*Please note: the guarantee only applies to the added work on the garment, not the thrifted item itself. I also cannot repair items that haven't been up-kept with the above care instructions. If you have a larger repair (ie: a hole develops somewhere on the thrifted clothing item), I can repair these for a small fee and the cost of shipping*
