Here are a few ideas inspired by our creations, and if one appeals to you, just follow the link to find out more!
Upcycling a T-shirt with a scarf
A plain oversized t-shirt can be transformed into a fashion statement by incorporating a vintage scarf. This technique adds volume, fluidity and an unexpected touch of elegance. A basic t-shirt can thus become a hybrid piece, somewhere between casual and chic. It's the perfect way to add style to a piece without necessarily changing it irreversibly. Discover the possibilities of this transformation:
Upcycle a t-shirt by dyeing, embroidering or turning it into an accessory
Sometimes, all it takes is one detail to change everything. Adding accessories like pearls, embroidery or even dyeing a t-shirt in a more vibrant hue can completely transform it. A tie and dye can add a retro touch, while a deeper solid color gives a chic, minimalist effect. Want to see how it looks in real life? Our TILLI artisans show you how they transform a simple t-shirt with these techniques here :
Upcycle a t-shirt by adding gathers
If you like your clothes fitted and feminine, adding gathers to a t-shirt can be a great option. It allows you to play with volume, slightly curve the silhouette or create a subtle draped effect. TILLI craftsmen have mastered the art of gathers and know exactly where to place them for a look that's both flattering and modern.
Upcycle a t-shirt by adding ruffles
Think your t-shirt's too simple? Adding ruffles will give it instant character. Whether on the sleeves, on the bottom or even around the collar, this transformation adds a bohemian and sophisticated touch. Our craftsmen know exactly how to adapt this technique to the style of the garment, for a result that's both refined and trendy.
Upcycling is the art of giving new meaning to our clothes. At TILLI, we love to see these everyday pieces transformed and adapted to your desires. Whether it's with a dye, a scarf, gathers or ruffles, there's always a solution to give style to a simple t-shirt. So, are you ready to give it a try?
