About SilkDenim

Louise and Sarah Silk are a mother-daughter duo making Art-You-Can-Use as a response to unsustainable 'fast fashion'. They deconstruct worn clothing and re-fashion the fiber into one-of-a-kind garments, bags, quilts, and home goods. They do it all by hand themselves in their Pittsburgh, PA studio. Through this process, they not only save the environment of excess material, but they also celebrate the beauty and authentic details of worn fabric. Inspired by the rust belt's history and Louise Silk's long time practice of making memory quilts, they transform discarded fiber into objects of value, practical use, beauty, and meaning.Read their story
