Welcome to dinwiddie's! We are a funky little design studio located in Indianapolis, Indiana, in the bohemian art district of Broad Ripple. We have an off-beat, little, retail sstore in the front, and I design and make items in the rear studio. Our company is run by myself with help from my husband. My name is Bernie. We have a Quirky sense of style that is rooted in tradition, but then sprouts into anything BUT tradional. We specialize on the slightly askew side of the clothing, accessory, and home goods by making things that are a little off- center. Think "Anthropologie" in a small, Mom & Pop, one-of-a-kind way like "The Shop around the Corner", where the owners are intimately connected to the goods. I like to use weird vintage fabrics and weathered materials that I have collected over the years, in conjunction with humble, natural fabrics that I will distress, tea stain, paint, or hand dye. I hand wash and dye a lot of the garments after I cut and sew them. I hand print some to create weird, crazy mixes. When making an item from traditional, everyday fabric, I'll design a non-traditionaal shape to throw things off. Think potatoe sack ball skirt, for example. I also like to de- construct and re-construct interesting finds. Deconstuction, reconstruction, and using vintage fabrics and materials is a great way to prevent waste in the environment. I love to give new life to what might be considered trash. With a little love, an old piece of barnwood makes a great tabletop, for example. Each item that you order from us is made, one-at-a-time, in our studio. Each piece already has character, and has developed a story prior to leaving our studio. Your story adds to each piece. We've had our little boutique forever/ever, and I still have mad love for the art of making things. Thanks for checking us out. Enjoy. |
