Hello and welcome to the Unruffled Marketplace! All garments and accessories are handmade by me, Sondra Primeaux, from 100% recycled textiles. I’ve been a reuse designer and maker for 20 years and I’ve collected vintage textiles just as long. It is a labor of love. That being said, I am a sole-proprietor and I’m the only employee. That means, I do: the sourcing of materials, the designing, the making, the photography and listing, the social media, the packaging (as eco-friendly as I can) and the shipping…whew. Some items can take up to three weeks to ship. If you need something to arrive in a speedier turnaround, please email me at sondra@theunruffled.com and I will do my best to accommodate your needs.
The Marketplace is shifting focus so that my upcycling serves my photography clients. Think client dream closet and wardrobe! I’ll still have new items for sale in my Marketplace but they will be more one-offs, experimentation and art as outerwear as opposed to collections of one-of-many. SLOWER slow fashion. Please follow me on Instagram @sondra_unruffled or sign up for my Newsletter, the best place to find out when I’ve dropped something special. I do take on a limited number of consignments a month, so please email me or use the contact form to initiate.
Return Policy: I take good care to describe, measure and photograph each item. Please read or ask questions before purchasing. I attempt to source the finest fabrics and carefully clean when appropriate, but due to their recycled nature, there is the chance of tiny, mostly unnoticeable imperfections. If you are entirely unhappy with your purchase and you contact me within 5 days of receipt, we can open a dialog about the possibilities of an alteration or an exchange. I am not responsible for shipping charges associated with returns nor items lost in the return process. Thank you for understanding.
My hope is that you feel the love and care that is steeped into every Unruffled item. I’m like the Ms. Roper of textile upcycling designers. I want you to feel fabulous and comfortable, from the museum opening to the casual lunch. Thank you for being a conscientious consumer. xo, Sondra
The Sun Goddess Dress
The Sun Goddess Dress
This one-shouldered dress is made from a 100+ year old silk and hand-embroidered piano shawl and other found silks and chiffon, most hand-dyed. Most of the dress is on the bias, it’s loose and flows and can fit a variety of sizes. From the shoulder to the button closure below the armpit, it measures 18 inches. The length from the top of the shoulder to longest point is 62 inches.
The piano shawl is antique and has many tiny imperfections but if is well maintained and stored, it will last for many more years.
Please spot clean or non chemical dry clean.
