Hi, I'm Emilee!

Working professionally in the outerwear industry for 20 years, I see firsthand the volume of perfectly good technical fabric shipping samples that never get a second life. I started re:nu to keep these high-quality, durable materials from going unused and ending up in landfills.

Based out of the Pacific Northwest, I hand-sew every zipper pouch, packable tote, and Dopp kit using these repurposed fabrics. The result is unique, weather-ready gear built to withstand the elements while giving leftover materials a new life on the trail.

re:nu is a passion project that combines my love of sewing and every day carry gear. I hope to make items that bring people joy and are useful for their every day adventures.

Enjoy!
