Meet the Creator

 

At 21, Yamari Skye is a Brooklyn-born creative who champions sustainable fashion through her passion for thrifting. Specializing in upcycling second-hand jeans into unique creations, she reduces waste and promotes a circular economy. Her designs, such as the Belted Mini Shoulder Bag and Dark Denim Crossbody Tote Bag, exemplify how style and environmental responsibility can harmoniously coexist.

This approach aligns with a broader shift in consumer behavior. Thrift store sales have seen a significant increase, reflecting a growing awareness of the environmental impact of fast fashion, which contributes to approximately 10% of global carbon emissions. By choosing to repurpose materials, designers like Yamari play a crucial role in reducing waste and promoting a circular economy. As the fashion industry continues to evolve, the contributions of such creators are essential in shaping a more sustainable future.
