Lynn's Rags - Unique Vintage & Handmade Originals

Lynn Van Brocklin

I have been reconstructing, and drastically altering vintage clothing for myself for the past ten years. I’ve always been inspired by clothing of the past. Items that grab me are usually those that remind me of my childhood. Objects in thrift stores such as little girl sweaters, 80’s party dresses, and things my mom used to wear in the 70's.

Working as a buyer in a resale shop for 6 years, i learned what people were looking for. It was so exciting to see the items I picked out actually sell! After having a child in 2004 I decided to try working from home. Turning my hobbies into a business has made me extremely happy...This is my full time job, and I love going to work!

My vision is simple, to take vintage clothing and turn it into something modern and wearable. In a society ruled by trends I fight for individuality. I value the power of expressing oneself through what you wear. Making my clothing everyday allows me to give women a sense of joy when they wear something completely original and nostalgic - and I get to fulfill a dream. A dream to be a single mother making it on her own!
