Reclaim. is more than a slow-fashion quilt apparel company. We’re storytellers, educators, and dedicated advocates for the slow-fashion movement. We create repurposed wearable art that’s personal, emotional and unique - handcrafted in Knoxville, TN. Our heritage pieces pay homage to our deep lineage of Appalachian quilt-makers , as we create each piece with respect to our histories and a love for where we come from.

Our garments are a catalyst for conversation; our pieces to tell a story of history and sustainability allowing our customers to be an extension of sharing that story. Our brand advocates for a circular, accessible approach to fashion, embracing imperfections as a testament to a garment’s history. We blend tradition with a forward-thinking perspective, connecting our work to a future that values sustainability and meaningful narratives.

An eccentric, slow-fashion brand that focuses on sustainability by upcycling and made to order pieces.

I started Abilitee with one goal: to design stylish adaptive clothing and accessories for chronically ill and disabled people. Over the past few years, we’ve grown our mission to include advocacy, sustainability, and community-building, because we believe all of these to be necessary parts of a changing global industry. Why is this important? Because in a truly inclusive world, ‘adaptive’ won’t be its own separate clothing category, it will be a consideration for all designers to think through, when designing mainstream fashion lines.

Dear Ivy, established in June 2022 by Julia Read, is a visionary brand dedicated to fabric circularity. My approach involves crafting each piece from the remnants of local fashion brands and those committed to using recycled and biodegradable materials. For the upcoming 2024 collection, I've collaborated with Proclaim, a socially responsible lingerie brand in LA known for its sustainability and inclusivity, and Pa Pe Studios, a brand originally based in Austin that champions earth-friendly fabrics and dyes. Our palette, materials, and designs draw inspiration from the landscapes and moments from our daily lives on this planet.

Defizm started as my own self exploration and quickly turned into a way for me to show up for my community. Defizm says- this is what it means to show up as oneself with no fear. What started as “resist spillage” turned into “resist repression”. Def can conjure up the parts of you that you long to have back. Every garment, every painting, every piece is intentional & blessed. Sourced as ethically as possible from family/friends hand-me-downs, leaving no thread or fabric scrap to go to waste. Def is by the people, for the people. What’s your izm?
