Hi, I’m Rosie—the one-woman band behind Dearloved. After running my vintage clothing shop for six years, I found that repairing and reworking clothing was a really essential part of the second-hand clothing industry that needs more focus.

Every year, an estimated 92 million tons of textile waste are created—an overwhelming number. So what can we do about it? At Dearloved, my mission is simple: rework, repair, and upcycle as much textile waste as possible, creating sustainable alternatives for vintage clothing businesses. 

Take a look at some of my previous projects below—I welcome all inquiries!

Curious about the name? Dearloved comes from a mix of preloved and my surname, Dearlove.
