About The Art
Cottage lvl Chaos is an upcycled wearable art brand. The goal is to brighten the spaces around us in tough times and create conversation beginning with self expression. While living in a world full of labels and opinions be you, wear you, express you!
I take pre loved pieces and give them new life. Utilizing embroidery, hyper-stitching, adornments, cropping, cutting and classic reworking techniques to create an entirely new statement piece. I try to get as much use out of everything as I can so I use my fabric scraps to make iron on patches as well as patches to sew onto hats and clothing! Upcycling ideas and fabric usage is endless!
I also have my biggest selling product which is my embroidered hats! Which I was never even a hat person until I had a curbside job during covid and needed hats but wanted fun and cute ones that could help get conversations going. So I found my way to hand embroidery and creating cute and clever little scenes and words. Eventually I gained access to an industrial embroidery machine through a local small business and now the opportunities are endless for phrases, statements and designs I can create. I can finally even keep up with demand for the most popular styles and create custom hats for you!
With a touch of pop culture, protest, and individuality the designs and ideas really pop out and make a statement! They also encourage community, love and fun! We often forget how important it can be to spread a little love. It's also important to let your inner self shine, get in touch with that care free side, play, have fun! Even just a little addition to what you wear everyday to make you smile and feel good is worth it!
