Christina Yother recently launched her debut collection, dubbed 'Repuropoisng with a Purpose' that designed with sustainability in mind. Yother thought herself how to sew using her grandmother's sewing machine and is now "committed to making pieces using sustainable materials and practices, including recycled jersey, cupro (which is biodegradable and made from plant-based materials), fibers made from recycled ocean plastics."
The debut collection features a number of eye-catching pieces including the Vanessa Dress (priced at $330), the Melissa Dress (priced at $319), the Tia Pants (priced at $359), the Rachelle Dress (priced at $428), the Jasmine Tunie (priced at $439), and the Julia Top (priced at $187). The entire collection is available to shop online and will appeal to conscious consumers looking to buy from brands that avoid wasteful overproduction.
