Hi! I'm Trudy and I have a passion for thrifting and designing something new from what already exists. I have been a full time jewelry designer of my upcycled, eco-friendly jewelry line TOODLEBUNNY since 2006. In the summer of 2022 I suffered an injury where I broke my pelvis and was not able to go to my 4th floor walk up jewelry studio for months. Being a lifetime creative, I started working from home and developed a new line of sewn goods where Deluxe Kitsch was born.

The three R's – Re-use, Rework, Re-Love is the forefront to my approach to Deluxe Kitsch's upcycled fashion designs. Sustainability is key by focusing on using existing garments and re-purposed materials such as vintage towels and linens to create new one of a kind clothing. Upcycled interior designer sample swatches as well as vintage textiles are used for our small goods accessories and home décor pillow designs. The collection includes reworked vintage denim jackets and vests with upcycled tapestries, vintage towels turned into summer tops, vintage linens to cottage core camisoles and boxy shirts as well as transforming existing garments into new wearable styles. Each one of a kind piece is designed and sewn by me in my home studio.

Trudy Wynans, aka Deluxe Kitsch, creates bright and colorful pomtastic pillows with an eclectic mix of vintage and modern textiles. Handpicked vintage and/or upcycled fabrics and tapestries are individually combined with coordinating decorative accents – pompoms, trims and tassels. Styles range from mid-century modern, and retro 60's to 90s era colorful prints and patterns. Most creations are one of a kind or limited to one of a few, made in my home studio in North Vancouver.

Each piece is crafted by hand, stuffed with new non-allergenic polyester fiberfill, and decorated with handmade yarn pompoms or tassels. My eco-conscious line exudes sustainability while adding interesting and vibrant pops of color to any room in your home. I strive to give these textiles a new life, some that haven't been used for 50 years, and turn it into usable textile art for your space.
