An Urban Crumb

Urban Outfitters has brought an old line, Urban Renewal, to new heights. They’ve put the ever-changing collection online. Urban Renewal is a line of limited edition pieces that are handmade from vintage fabrics and overstock materials. The pieces are sold exclusively at Urban Outfitters, and now on their site. Each piece is completely unique, but each edition keeps a constant silhouette. The pieces in the edition vary in colors and patterns as well as in detail work. Since the pieces are one of a kind, there is always something new to find! And the prices… oh the prices! They are akin to those of the other products at Urban Outfitters. Basically, one of a kind piece for mass-produced price. Some of the things Inkblot is in love with in the collection include the tie-shoulder sundress ($48), the fabric wrapped bangles ($14), and the fabulous smocked gauze tunic ($42) that can be converted into a skirt!



And Inkblot didn't even mention the cute little drawings in some product descriptions that explain where the fabric for the piece came from. It's very satisfying to know how your clothes came to be. Urban Renewal is a wonderful place to find an item that no one else will have without smashing open your piggy bank of savings. Delightful! As always:
Much love,
Inkblot
