The Pre-EyeLoveLu Collection captures the early beginnings of my journey into upcycled fashion and handmade craftsmanship. Long before the EyeLoveLu brand was born, I was sourcing vintage cotton sheets from local charity shops and transforming them into one-of-a-kind garments.

This collection features 4 matching sets- 4 handmade V-neck tie-front cropped vests & 4 matching bucket hats, each upcycled from soft, breathable cotton with distinctive retro and patterned prints. These pieces are a celebration of sustainability, resourcefulness, and the creative spark that would later grow into EyeLoveLu.

Each vest & hat carries its own story, its own fabric history, and a unique personality — from pastel geometrics to sunset landscapes, gingham checks, and abstract vintage motifs. Lightweight, versatile, and timelessly stylish, they can be worn alone in warm weather or layered for a bold, playful statement.
