About ashdel

Ashdel is a collection of modern textile jewelry created from vintage sewing notions and glass beads. Fabric trims, threads, and fasteners traditionally used in garment making are repurposed and meticulously handcrafted into artful treasures. Designed and handmade by Ashley Delose in Austin, TX. Vintage and upcycled materials are at the heart of her design process and inspire limited collections. Her work is experimental yet grounded in traditional techniques like sewing, collage, Japanese braiding (kumihimo), beading, and embroidery. Ashley grew up in Florida and lived in New York before moving to Texas. After graduating from the University of Florida with a degree in Visual Art and Theater Production (Costume Design) she began experimenting with textiles, now the foundation of her work.
