MorLove is a community of environmentally and globally conscious artists, artisans and designers who hone their talents while helping those in need.

Using donated fabrics, we refashion textile materials into new products ranging from clothing to home furnishings. Each item is handcrafted and unique and represents tangible value when we sell them in local markets. We also raise funds through specialty events such as Redress Raleigh which showcases our designers’ works. Proceeds from these events and the sale of refashioned items help the various charities and projects we support.

Our focus is twofold: one, to create a learning environment for designers, craftsmen and artisans and, two, to support children in poverty with little means to live an enriched life. We provide these children with donated clothing, shoes, books and art supplies. Current campaigns support a home for abandoned babies and young children in Uganda, a school in Madagascar and local programs in the Raleigh, North Carolina area.

You can help by donating your time, ideas, skills and money to our cause. Our goal is to duplicate this giving model throughout America and the world and, in doing so, start an environmental, humanitarian and sustainable revolution.

 

Revamp

Revamp is an eco-conscious, vintage inspired women’s clothing line. Designer Jamie Powell draws on all aspects of her life to create her designs, incorporating elements of her vintage wholesaling business as well as her personal lifestyle. All Revamp items are made with an eco-conscious focus; all production is local and inputs are selected for their low environmental impact. The vision of the Revamp line is to create classic wardrobe stables that make the wearer feel both comfortable and beautiful. Custom requests are welcome; family heirloom pieces can be reconstructed to give a second life to a treasured tablecloth, or a grandmother's wedding dress.

Revamp has been featured in The Raleigh News & Observer, The Independent, the Indie NC Blog, and in several Raleigh-area fashion shows including FashionSpark '08 and '09 and Strut '09. Revamp is also a co-producer of Redress Raleigh Eco-Fashion Show.

American Vintage Clothing & Classics, Inc. is Powell’s vintage clothing wholesaling business that works to source inventory for vintage clothing stores all over the world. AVCC Inc. provides much of the inspiration and material for the Revamp line.
