About REcreate designs:
REcreate designs is a small business with big dreams and proud to be 100% made in Montana by people who care. We employ local folks to help keep things running and purchase a majority of our raw supplies from area thrift and second hand shops. REcreate designs product line {clothing, books, bags, and accessories} is made from recycled bits and pieces that are repurposed into quality items that all can enjoy and appreciate. We see the beauty in the old, cast off, scraps of others. For several years, we have been focusing on creating in a space using recycled materials as a main component. Recreate design is a result of my passions for the world around me—seeing things not as they are, but what they can become. REclaim| REpurpose |REcreate designs
