ReallyReally Remade offers both a product – ReallyReally bags, which are one of a kind readymade bags created from uncut vintage clothing, as well as a service – turning customers’ own sentimental items into functional pieces for everyday use.
ReallyReally is the brainchild of textile artisan (& mother of five) Heather Curtis, who enjoys being challenged to make a custom bag out of any clothing item!
Featured ready made design for 2009:
the ReallyReally unTIEd bag (repurposing the corporate noose).
Great for cell phones, i-pods, keys, etc. Kids love them, too.
Snap closure, secret stash pocket for money & cards. Can be worn over arm, looped around handle of a larger bag, or around the neck for hands free travel!
Lifetime repair warranty on worksmanship.
Pieces from clothing provided by the customer vary in size, style & price. Pieces are never cut, unless specific’ly requested. ReallyReally’s first commissioned piece was for a 70th birthday gift – the bag incorporated a sweater, skirt, & scarf from the giftee, as well as 3 hats made the woman had made for her grandchildren, and another grandchild’s soccer jersey (see photos at right)!
Gift certificates are available for baby showers, parent-of-the-graduate gift, birthdays, etc.
Lifetime repair warranty on worksmanship.
