CRTV LTRCY

Born from artSPARK Creative Studio, we transform reclaimed textiles into one-of-a-kind pieces made locally with purpose, creativity, and care.

We didn't want to cut back on creativity.
So we doubled down on it.

Why CRTV LTRCY?

Times got tough so we stitched new beginnings. CRTV LTRCY is a sister brand of artSPARK Creative Studio, turning reclaimed textiles into wearable art to keep creativity, and creative jobs, alive. Every piece is hand-touched by local artists and educators. We believe creativity is the most renewable resource we have.

What "Upcycled" Means Here

We use the word "upcycled" to describe a range of creative processes. From thoughtful curation to complete transformation.

Reworked

Pieces we've enhanced or altered to give them a new life. That might mean adding screen prints, stitching, patchwork, or dye techniques. These changes make an existing garment more expressive, individual, and distinctly CRTV LTRCY.

Reimagined

Garments we treat as raw materials for something entirely new. These are pieces that undergo significant transformation. Each one is a one-of-a-kind creation born from experimentation and artistry.

Reclaimed

Textiles and garments we've rescued.
This includes all the materials we source, as well as select items we resell as found.
