The Detour

These jeans had a perfectly good life ahead of them.

Then I got involved.

Meet The Detour, a one-of-a-kind skirt made from repurposed tan stretch denim jeans and a trio of contrasting blue button down plaid shirts.

The original jeans waistband, pockets, and front closure keep a little of their former personality, while the gathered plaid lower section takes things in a completely different direction.

An asymmetrical seam adds even more character, because apparently a straight line was just too predictable.

She's a little artsy, a little unconventional, and exactly the kind of piece that makes getting dressed more interesting.

The little details

• Reworked tan stretch denim jeans size 10

• Contrasting blue plaid gathered skirt panels

• Original jeans waistband, pockets, and closure

• Asymmetrical denim-to-plaid seam

• One-of-a-kind design

Sometimes the scenic route is the best one.

A Little Note About One-of-a-Kind

This piece was created using previously loved clothing and/or vintage textiles. Slight fading, variations in texture, and little signs of a past life may be present. I think that's part of what makes these pieces so special.

Each one is individually reimagined, which means no two are exactly alike. Please check measurements and photos carefully before purchasing.
