upcycled shirt by Wise Owl

Ashleigh Loeffler upcycles, designs, and sews eco friendly clothes and accessories through her business Wise Owl Shop.  After coming to The Resource Exchange right before the holidays to pick up some reclaimed supplies, Ashleigh sent us these pictures of one of her newest accomplishments.

Wise Owl Shirt 1

Recognize the leather trim running down the center of this shirt?  We have a bunch of these leather strips that artists and makers have been able to use in all kinds of different ways.  Ashleigh used it to upcycle this shirt that she found at a thrift store!wise owl shirt collage

After Ashleigh visited the store, the re team ran into the Wise Owl crew at a local holiday craft market and we found some other really charming items at their table.  In fact, every member of the Resource Exchange staff left the market with a little something from The Wise Owl Shop.  Our family members loved the signature neckwarmers with “no tree harmed” buttons, and you will too!  While our limited supply lasts, you can purchase Wise Owl signature neckwarmers at The Resource Exchange, donated by Ashleigh…Get ’em while it’s still SUPER cold outside!  Make sure to visit the Wise Owl Shop online to see what all the fuss is about!
