A new clothing store named “La Vie Apres L’amour” has opened in Kingston’s Rondout district. They’re doing something special by focusing on sustainable fashion. This means they take used and vintage textiles and turn them into fashionable clothes. The founder and CEO, Kaitlyn Murray, loves both fashion and nature, but she doesn’t like how they often clash. So, she decided to create clothing that’s good for the environment.
In this store, you’ll find a core collection of styles that are reimagined from men’s button-down shirts. These styles include cropped tanks, off-shoulder looks, and a dress that’s made from multiple pieces and can also be worn as a shirt. They get the materials for these clothes from different places like thrift stores, donations from friends and family, and clothing swaps.
What’s interesting is that everything they sell is not just old vintage clothes; each piece is transformed into something new and unique. That’s why the store is called “La Vie Apres L’amour,” which means “life after love” in French. It represents giving once-loved pieces a fresh start and a new purpose.
