Upcycled and Vintage Clothing at AnnieRose Vintage

Annie Rose Vintage offers wonderful Upcycled and Vintage Clothing with a tattered shabby bohemian twist. Beautiful eco-friendly vintage finds are embellished, refashioned and upcycled for you!  Here on the guild, we love and suggest you shop from sellers like AnnieRose Vintage, who do their best to offer greener items.  We just love what she did with this dress. This gorgeous upccyled dress was made from an adorable black and red bustier camisole and finished off with black fabric with white French script. Matching tattered edge sash and bows around the straps, and black tattered roses sewn onto the skirt at the hip. This is so cute!! See it here.

Maybe it is her attention to detail or the fact these clothes are couture and one of a kind, but we love her work. The color choices are exceptional and the items make you want to have fun!  Her style is bohemian style and is just lovely and we suggest you check out her shop and revel in the beauty of these recycled and upcycled creations.

Meet Chelsie of Chelsie Belles

Chelsie of Chelsie Belles is from Sioux Falls, SD. She's a professional model and graphic design student. She's extremely talented and makes really cute clothing and accessories from used/vintage items.

Tell us a little about yourself.

My name is Chelsie. I am a graphic design student at SDSU and love anything arty. I love to sew and make unique clothing and jewelry. I am constantly coming up with new ideas and working on unique projects.

When did you first start crafting?

I have always "crafted". I have been sewing and making jewelry since I was a little girl.

Please describe your work in detail. What's your favorite type of crafting/design?

My favorite type of crafting is fashion design. I enjoy making designs from vintage clothing or fabric. I have this deep love for vintage that I have been told results from being born in the wrong decade :). I really enjoy taking things apart and turning them into something else completely.

How has your work evolved from your earlier work?

I always work quite a bit with denim but recently I have been working with other fabrics.

Where do you get your inspiration?

I get my inspiration from the fabric that I use and the medium that I am reusing. I see the piece and suddenly I know what it needs to be.

Where are your products sold (online/stores)?

I sell my products online in my Etsy shop. Visitors will be redirected to my shop from the address www.chelsiebelles.com.

What advice can you give other crafters/designers when selling their items?

Don't under-price your items. Your time is valuable so is the time of your fellow crafters! When people buy handmade they get a level of quality and personal touch that can't be purchased at a large chain store. Let's help everyone get what they deserve.

Describe yourself in three words:

Fun, Funky, Weird

Is there is anything else you'd like to share with us?

I take custom orders!
