About...

A bit about

I am a self taught designer who works with recycled denim. Originally from the Czech Republic now I am based in Devonport, Auckland.

From an early age I have always loved sewing. It’s in my family. However my career has been in advertising and direct marketing as an Account Manager and since going on maternity leave with my baby girl I have fully embraced my creative side. Being a new Mum can be challenging and tiring but it's also very inspiring and can lead you down a path you never thought you'd travel.

My designs are mainly inspired by old school tattoos. They’re classic, romantic, and sexy - just what I hope to achieve with my designs.
My collection ranges from grungy/punky to elegance so there’s something for every occasion.

My two favourite pieces in my collection is the elaborate 'Roses' necklace ( [picture] $55 ). It's a design you wouldn't necessarily expect to be me made out of denim. It's prominent yet classy, romantic yet edgy. And the G Star cuff for men [picture $28] - bacause I like the fact it's using the old jeans to the full potential.

As well as making my own designs I also make to order. You can select colour of denim and style and I make it to your requirement. Or if you have an old yet precious pair of jeans you can’t part with, send them to me and I’ll turn them into a fashionable item of your choice that you’ll enjoy for many more years to come.

Currently you can see my collection at select Auckland markets like the DNA: Designers and Artist market and the Devonport Craft Market, on felt.co.nz or on my blog resurrectiondenimreborn.wordpress.com My contact details can be found on my blog if you want to own one of my designs or with your requests on commissions and prices

Big Idea

My idea to create designs out of recycled denim was a very organic process.
Everyone has their favorite pair of jeans they don't want to part from. They are worn out but have a sentimental value. My journey started with my old denim skirt. It just didn't deserve to be 'chucked' yet. It deserved to live a bit longer. And that's how my first denim fashion accessory was born. Then one night the rest of the skirt was reborn into a denim ring and a cuff. And the denim idea spread it's tentacles from jewellery, bags to soft furnishing and even lampshades.
