Handmade fashion & design · Bellingham, Washington
I make clothing, jewelry and everyday accessories from upcycled finds and natural fibers. Each piece starts with a material that catches my eye—and becomes something with its own texture, color and character.
Secondhand fabrics, natural fibers, brass and the odd little treasure from a thrift-store shelf all have possibilities. I like finding them, figuring out what they might become, and making something you can wear, carry and make your own.

Found materials, new stories.A collection in progress
One-of-a-kind pieces and small runs, made from materials I love working with. Ask about a piece to check availability, sizing or a custom idea.
Pieces may be one of a kind or made in small batches. Send a note to ask what’s available, request sizing details, or talk through a custom idea.
02 / MADE WITH MATERIALS IN MIND
Sometimes it starts with a thrifted shirt. Sometimes it’s a beautiful yarn, a handful of beads, or a piece of brass I can’t leave behind. I like the puzzle of working with what’s available and letting the material help decide what comes next.

03 / A NOTE FROM KALCIA
I’m Kalcia, a maker in Bellingham. I love materials with a little history, colors I keep thinking about, and the moment a new technique starts to work. This small collection is a record of what I’m learning and making along the way.
Thanks for being here, and for caring about the hands and materials behind what you wear.
