Doris features garments that were either upcycled or repurposed. She amassed a great collection of unique items, a bicycle tire dress as well as upcycled Libertine pieces.

Doris: "it's winter in Los Angeles, so it's really cold"
Me, a Canadian: "... Must be tough"
LoL we Canadians know all about being cold !
I've lived through winters of -20F so when she said it was cold in LA I thought she must be sarcastic!
I think LA people think it is cold there because they don’t have furnaces. When it gets down to 50 degrees, their homes feel chilly.
@@NeighborofKT 50 isn't chilly put on a sweater and slippers and come back time when it's 40f and below. Right now it's 4f
Amanda H I agree with you. I live in WI...it was -21 F yesterday morning. My point is that without a furnace or storm windows, a California house will seem chilly to people who are used to hot weather. You and I know what cold really is, lol.
Love her, she has the Most relaxing voice of all
Dayna Edwards I agree!
The Matisse coat is a masterpiece, congratulations! Love, Sol
What a labor of love your friend made you and incredible one of a kind coat! For a one of a kind lady! Wear it in good health and great spirits!
Thank-you so much for the inspiration! In my work room I have a 60ies dress to alter to my body, a 50ies style hat I´m making from a 90ies hat and a 80ies handbag to be painted into something very me... I am prone to always think the results of my work are inferior to buy the real thing from a shop. Your video really gives me a push of confidence!
That Valentino / Matisse coat is incredible, you clearly have a very lovely and generous friend.
Thank you! Great reminder to make us of things rather than add them to the landfill! The Japanese re-purposing idea has a strong link to southern US patchwork and quilting.
This is my greatest passion In life I have been wearing vintage and cutting up clothing and textiles for clothing since I was a teenager I have a great skirt made from an old table cloth I love doing bead work and I once made a belt out of an old tin and I loved that belt thank you for this one loved it
The Boro textile is really cool, looks a bit like a Bauhaus woven textile.
There's an interesting pottery repairing technique from Japan called "Kintsugi" or "Kintsukuroi" where a broken pot is repaired with a type of golden lacquer to highlight the crack and make the break a thing of beauty. Kind of similar philosophy to the Boro textile, repair, reuse, imbued with character.
This is my favorite thing to do. I love repurposing and upcyling. So many great things out there to reuse. I must say that I do love wearing kimonos just as they are but the jackets were also cute. Can’t wait to come visit your store next time I’m in LA.
As Always Doris is a walking Encyclopedia. Wonderful informative upload!!
I agree about old textiles, and repurposing! I deal in old fragments! Thank you for this... ❤️
Love your store and your beautiful way of protecting, sharing and educating the world on the relevance and preciousness of vintage fashion!! As a designer My first job in fashion, in the 80's was being turned loose by my boss in his denim warehouse in New Jersey with nothing but my wild London trained imagination, a seamstress and my innocents, to repurpose 1000's of unsold product as well as " Simpson cartoon licensed" garments! OMG. Jackets , jeans you name it was all just gathering dust!! This challenge was some of the most fun ever, I graffitied, ripped and shredded, stoned and bejeweled re imagined this warehouse of unsold merch into product that sold in Jr departs across the US!! It was a start for me of a creative love affair with Sustainability before it was even a thing!! I hope I don't sound insane but it really happened and your Doris , your amazing presentation just brought it all back to me!! Thank you....
Hi Stephen!
Shit! Wish you lived in LA as I would LOVE to meet you. So happy you had such a fun creative experience and also happy this episode didn’t cause post traumatic stress syndrome. LOL. Are you still designing?
Hope you enjoy other episodes. Thanks for reaching out.
Kind regards- Doris
@@thewaywewore7371 Damm it!! Wish I Were in LA too! I'd LOVE to meet you as well.. And no, 😊 I experienced no PTSD from the episode, LOL , just happy, warm memories... .. . And yes , I'm still designing and consulting, I'd love to share some of my Images with you. Keep creating your inspirational content.. Best regards... Stephen
I still just love watching your videos! They're extremely relaxing to listen to, and I get to learn more about all the different clothing on how something was made, the different fabrics, and especially the history of the clothing! (Which is my favorite part) ❤
Glad you like them!
Great episode! I remember you told me 5 years ago how repurposing and upcycling will be fashion's next major move. So right!! 😊
WOW!! Gorgeous items, as always! Everything is so beautiful..beyond words.
That jacket your friend embellished was just so, so, lovely!! Beautiful workmanship.
Thank you for the links-I did know about Stella and Patagonia-but not the others. Thank you for that!!
Sewing is something I enjoy doing-but taking things apart to remake-I'm afraid I don't enjoy (arthritis)...it would be nice it there were shops that sold items "deconstructed", and you could pick out the bits you needed for your next project!! That would be a wonderful way to reuse fabrics!
Have a great week, and thank you for your time.
Thanks for showing us all of the handstiching on the underside of that garment-a beautiful sight to behold!
Fascinating! Thank you for taking the time and sharing with us ❤️
The world needs a change and together we can create the change. Hats off to your efforts!!!!!!
I love all of your episodes but I adore this one! So much creativity involved breathing new life into older garments. Thank you for making a channel that adds context to the vintage shopping experience
Love this video. A great message and so much inspiration!
Thank you for your time showing all this information!
Honestly I can't thank you enough for making these videos.
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and love of Vintage Clothing and all the upcycling, repurposing, and works of art by originaly artists. LOVE IT.
Wonderful vlog. I have made dresses from vintage/used scarves, and I did incorporate a vintage sari one time. Loved working with these materials.
I appreciate this video. I LOVE vintage. Your tips are fantastic and bringing an element of consciousness makes a video worth watching.
I love this. I worked at a theme park hemming employee uniform pants and kept the scraps. I turned them into a boro inspired jacket that I absolutely adore. I will wear it for years and mend it over time. As a fashion designer, I love creating labor-intensive surface design. Boro ideology is absolutely apart of that. Thank you again Doris for being wonderful.
What does surface design mean?
I hope that kimono sells quickly because hearing the possibility of it getting the chop made me clutch my invisible pearls!! Hope you can do commentary on the recent jpg retiring and the effects of this on the items that Doris has, I was sad of the news but I think his brand will have a upmonitization renasainse because of this. Just his archive must have increased some millions since yesterday. Great video as always guys.
I was reading your comment at the exact moment, the Kimono 👘 cut apart came up in the video: I actually did reach for my pearls~ with an audible intake of breath🙊
Glad to hear that she’s giving it a few years yet~ intact.
Maybe it will have found a home. One hopes.
If not, sadly- as an avid mending/up cycling/repurpose advocate…. I get it.
It’s beautiful, not historical.
With hopefully, many years of
use left. Before the silk shatters, and is rendered unwearable/unusable
Love love love content from Doris!
I just love watching you so many interesting garments and accessories thank you for sharing it with us
Thank you Doris, as always very interesting, inspiring and informative. For years I have bought 'vintage' or what used to be call 'second hand'. I may now try up cycling some of my more 'tired' clothes. I have explored the 'Boro ' technique on my jeans, enjoying the process and the results one can achieve and it's actually not very hard to do, basically running stitch and a bit of imagination. The thought of ones clothes out living us, to be worn by future generations to come is maybe something we should all at least consider when making a purchase. Thanks again for a super video.
These videos are everything!! Prof. Raymond is teaching and I'm all in. Thank you Doris for sharing all of this knowledge. How wonderful and generous.
Thanks so much for teaching us more about the wonderful textiles that are out there. Xo
This was so informative and inspiring! I actually met a gal at a market who takes old cashmere sweaters and reworks them in such cool ways into new sweaters. It’s such an affordable way to have beautiful fabrics & upcycle.
This is an amazing channel. Thank you for sharing these beautiful pieces. I agree that fashion and style needs to be sustainable. I also embellish and modify my clothes as time goes by making them unique and beautiful. At this time I'm repurposing old denim into beautiful embellished patches.
I've binged your series this weekend and I am about to start the last episode and I have to say I will miss this show. I think you are brilliant and your staff is amazing. Just amazing.
I just loved this video! The garments are beautiful and amazing! Your coat is absolutely incredible, wow!! It was like watching an art show, thanks sooo much for sharing!😍😍😍
I just love watching your programme you are so interesting I myself love vintage clothing I suppose I'm a second hand Rose from a child who use to love vintage clothing from the Victorian times 20s 30s 40s even 50s they were so unusual and so stylish. I hope to see more of your programs just love them
Omg 😱 That f’n coat with the Matisse painting in PRONG SET rhinestones...
I have no words 😶
Just breathtaking 💯
Great information. I love all your pieces. Especially those purses.
Fabulous ideas for repurposing Doris. 😊 thank you
As usual, your videos are always very interesting to watch, I find the stories behind the garments very fascinating! Well done indeed again!
Great video! Beautiful garments
Amazing to know so interesting things.Thank for passing on the information!
Wow, so impressed by your channel and latest video!! Sustainability, history and works of art!!👏🤔🤗🐨
Doris that color really looks good on you. Thank you for what your doing. Wonderful
That purple scarf dress is love at first sight! Thsnks for the inspiration. ✨
Hello
I remember watching liking and even saving this video to one of my playlist when it was published and today I shared it with someone that upcycles clothes so I watched it again.
It's a great video, I would really like another installment of it.
Thank you for this resource.
Loved this! Thank you! 90% or more of my clothing and shoes are thrifted and Im always interested in the designers and companies practicing true sustainability!
Wow! Just discovered your videos and I absolutely LOVE! Thank you! ❤️
So much love for this and all your informational videos
Absolutely wonderful, inspiring video! As an embroiderer, though, I would like to affectionately say that those of us with ADD make the best embellishers because we can “hyperfocus” for hours and hours. For us, embellishing work is calming and soothing.
I really wanna start some crafts like crochet and sewing and I was recently diagnosed with adhd. I've found that the biggest challenge is actually starting something though. Do you also have that problem?
I'm happy that you mentioned Eileen Fisher. Great company and she is an awesome person.
It seems like forever between these wonderful videos. Just when I think Doris isn’t coming back, boom! She finally shows up once again with terrific things, and information which I know I might have not otherwise have known. Many thanks. Oh, and that kimono is drop dead gorgeous. I have one a friend brought me as a gift, it is beautiful, but not embroidered.
Pure aluminum purse! Awesome. I absolutely love this episode!
Every episode is an education. This is so much a Masterclass that I feel blessed to have open access to it. Much thanks
I love your video..came across by accident so glad i did. I'm currently starting my own Reuse, re purpose, recycle boutique. not only garments but objects like household items and other things. You have inspired me to keep going :-)
"Winter in Los Angeles so it's really cold..."
Lol. It's been in the mid-seventies there all week. The rest of the country is buried under a blanket of snow and experiencing record low temperatures.
Oh, well. At least you have lots of warm clothes to wear, Doris! 😉
Lorie Flickinger totally freezing here!
Lol that's how it is in Phoenix. I'm the only one walking around in a tshirt and shorts everyone else is dressed like it's my fall lol
That Matisse Dance jacket is the most incredible thing I've seen--anywhere.
Fantastic informative “lesson” and resource video! Thank Y♥️U!
That Valentino coat is ABSOLUTELY jaw dropping!!!
I’m so inspired by this episode. Thank you!!
Such an inspirational video!! I love your videos!!
Coats and jackets are my favs
Great video! I’ve been watching your channel for a while and I just want to say keep up the good work! Every video is so interesting and I learn something new every time. Thanks for producing quality, educational content. 🙂
I am always inspired watching you!
Amazing video! I love upcycleing!
Hello from Australia Doris. I so love your shows. I find them facinating and I love istening to you. ❤

It's so interesting I love all this
Ciao Doris❣I looove vintage . My dream is to visit your adorable vintage boutique. ..a long way from were I live - Sweden. Such funny and to die for garments , truly you are having the eyes of a master. 🤗🦋💜
Doris, your birthday present from your friend was stunning. Happy Birthday by the way.
I enjoyed this episode very much.
The bike tire ensemble is exquisite!
"The INTEGRITY of a garment." Those words struck me deeply.
I happened upon your channel perchance and recognized someone I met many years ago, in San Francisco, YOU! Hello! You rented my apartment on Laguna St. and kindly offered me a finders fee from your shop and I got a beautiful beaded top or two. Nice to see you still recycling these great clothes.
GREAT knowledge, really enjoyed watching this. Together, we can make a difference.
Very cool video. Glad I clicked on it. I’ve always made my own clothes.
It was such a pleasure listening to you….you are very well spoken and inspiring! I subscribed for sure.
Thanks for your kind words. We have not done any recent videos but plan to start up again. Doris
Call it cultural appropriation but i would praise any fashion brand in the world for doing boros of their scraps to approach zero waist production as close as possible. Thank you for showing us your treasures Doris. I actually like this one-colour handbag of fliptops even more than the multicoloured one. So minimal and...chic! Seriously!
Love your show. Your waring a great outfit.
I´m so in love with that last kimono as it is. wish I could afford it
That jacket you were gifted is absoultely incredible. What a sweet gift
I love the Alabama mountain women dress. This is all so interesting, thank you!
Love it
Thank you for the school of thought.
Bulgarian here! Glad you liked the necklace! ;) Also, very informative video with great delivery. I am binge watching your videos!
Don Kim Upcycling is doing amazing work to get people to upcycle.
Aah Doris, I only just found you and am now wondering what I did before. You highlight ALL the areas of clothing and design that I find important and exciting and every video is a revelation! That 50s coat is amazing. I want one! Here was I thinking I was older than you until you mentioned your 65th...obviously I am not the only one wearing well! (I will be 64 on my next birthday) Seeing you makes me think that I have a lot of good years in me yet!
"It's winter in Los Angeles, so it's really cold" girl? lol! ❤
I'm a Southern Californai girl myself and I feel you
Your Valentino Matisse coat is fantastic Doris!
It really is fabulous Sheila and I wish I’ve traveled to colder temps to actually have the opportunity to wear it. Thanks for your comment!
Doris
Winter in London ! up cycled clothes are fab
Loved the clothes.
Back in the 70s at my college in Hammond, Louisiana, the hippies would put together patches of fabrics with denim and create lovely textiles. They worked with elderly quilters to create beautiful shirts and jackets.
Wow!
I JUST FOUND YOUR CHANNEL...LOVE IT !
SUBSCRIBED !!!
