About Me


dismantled is a collection of one-of-a-kind, handmade original & reconstructed clothing and accessories. Many dismantled garments are made from used or vintage clothing, fabrics, and trims. Most dismantled fashions are meant to have a slightly unfinished, rough-hewn, well-loved look about them.
dismantled designs are fun, playful, quirky, funky…as unique as you are!
