about me

This reworked technicolor tee brings the sweetest hit of 60s color to a modern cropped cut. The applique is hand-cut from true vintage floral cotton, the kind of bold, psychedelic poppy print the 60s did best, then machine-embroidered onto a cherry red base that needed a little love, for a one-of-one statement piece. The pattern itself is classic 60s: oversized blooms, punchy pinks and yellows, and that slightly off-register charm only older rotary-printed cottons have. The fabric itself was rotary printed, a mid-century technique that pushed dye through cylindrical screens to create continuous, high-saturation patterns you just can’t fake today. Soft, wearable and bright in all the right ways.

Each re-made piece has lived a life before finding its way to us, some may show gentle signs of wear that add to its story and character. We re-make items that come to us needing some extra love, and use various techniques including embroidered appliqué, screen-printing, and more to handle defects such as permanent stains or holes. All measurements are taken flat unless otherwise noted. While we include an estimated modern size for reference, we recommend reviewing the listed measurements for your best fit.
