Our Process
Purpose in Repurposing
Everything I make at m.a.b.e.l takes time. I find and like to work with pre-1950s quilts because of their natural fibers and their designs that are so old they’re modern again. I work slowly to appreciate all the handwork and decisions that once created them. Every quilt is beautifully unique, and I love making it shine.
Out with the old...
At m.a.b.e.l, everything old can be new again. Send me your used m.a.b.e.l coat or popover (it’ll be repurposed once again!) and I'll give you a discount on your next one!
UPCYCLE YOUR QUILT Send us your quilt, and we'll give it new life. Learn more.
