Announcement    ★ Hey! I'm Carmen Merie & TheRuralAdvantage is my shop! ★

For many years this was shop was called repurposefulPUNK. In the last 7 years, my life has headed in a different direction, a slower place away from the hive of the city. We all have to remember where we came from and how we started so you'll still find the classic styles here in my shop.

I love vintage clothing & making new items out of the cool things I find whilst thriftin'. My favorite thing is turning an outrageous 80s sweater into a cute girly dress. My aim is to included upcycled..repurposed..or eco-friendly fabrics and materials in all of my designs.

Current lead-times for Made to Order items is 2-3 weeks. Thanks for your patience {I'm just a one woman sweat-shop}
