Miranda Caroligne has been sewing most of her life, turning this past-time into a career after a bicycle accident rendered her unable to continue work as a physical therapist in 2003. Having an understanding of the body and its movements is evident in her clothing. Mostly working in recycled, upcycled, sustainable, reconstructed materials ... she ventured into fleece upon moving to San Francisco and frankly just being cold. In 2006 she began using the fleece offcut from her line of outerwear, as well as the offcut of other sustainably-minded companies. This method is not only Miranda’s favorite from an environmental standpoint, but easily the most fulfilling creatively. Each piece is like a sculpture that comes alive in the process. No two pieces are alike, as the starting materials are all completely unique... just like the wearer.
