Please enjoy my conversation with Carli Vergamini. 

Just a girl trying to change the world, that’s Carli. What started as a creative outlet eventually turned into a resourceful smorgasbord of repurposing vintage jackets & dilapidated kiddie pools. 

It all began when Carli wanted to make stuff with leather but didn’t know where to find any (spoiler: it was thrift stores). Add getting grossed out by her own consumption habits & here she is today making cool, wearable stuff out of trash.

 Because there's already enough cool stuff in the world without starting from scratch making something new.
