About Mend and Muse

My journey began in the lush, timeless beauty of Manoa Valley, where my love for vintage finds and deep respect for the planet first took root. I was drawn to antique fabrics, worn leather, and forgotten textiles — pieces that whispered stories of the past and deserved a second life. What others saw as waste, I saw as opportunity. Mend & Muse was born from this vision: to reimagine and reclaim. Every bag is a handcrafted testament to the art of upcycling — designed with intention, made with heart, and rich with character. No two pieces are the same, yet all carry a sense of nostalgia, charm, and resilience. But we go beyond aesthetics. At our core is a commitment to sustainability. When you choose a Mend & Muse piece, you're embracing thoughtful, conscious fashion — fashion that honors both the planet and its people. Join me in celebrating a slower, more meaningful approach to style — where every bag is a statement of sustainability, individuality, and timeless beauty.Read their story
