FIRST FRIDAY POP-UP ✨
Meet Ellen Groce — the maker behind these one-of-a-kind reworked pieces coming to Main Trade for First Friday.
Ellen takes vintage men’s shirts and hand-sews them into something entirely new. No two pieces are alike. Every shirt keeps a little bit of its history — an uneven hem, a loose thread, a perfectly imperfect detail — and becomes something completely its own.
Basically: old shirt → new life → one-of-one.
If you like clothing with a story, a little bit of soul, and absolutely no chance of seeing yourself coming down the street wearing the same thing as someone else… you’ll want to meet Ellen.
