Salvage: A Modern Vintage Marketplace

Today we went to see  the Salvage fair in Atlanta.

Outside of Ambient Plus Studio.
Vintage items and King of Pops
in the PBR Lounge.
                               
Vendors selling their vintage items and handmade goods.


I was good today, I left with only one purchase!
Looking forward to the next I.C.E event....

Our studio


Ivy & Me’s apparel is created in a cozy little unfinished room in our basement. 

We hand-craft everything in our collections. It’s all designed, dyed, painted and stitched right here, by just the two of us.

Meredith's trusty Pfaff sewing machine gets the job done.

The concrete walls are a backdrop for our seasons’ inspirations, post cards, maps and peg boards for hanging rulers and french curves.



Our little studio is busting at the seams with textiles supplies like buttons, paints, brushes, Pantone markers, multicolored threads, fabrics... And mind your step; we don’t always catch all of the straight pins on the floor.




Our inspiration corner, complete with Jolly Ranchers.
This is where the magic happens.


Pantone markers for sketching
designs and silhouettes.

We have a small button obsession.
Vintage, modern, wood, plastic, glass, metal...
