Jimmy Duckfoot

 A Treasure Hunter at Heart

Hi there! I'm Tanya Jean, and as long as I can remember, I've thrived on transforming "nothing" into something special. **Thrifting in My Blood** Thrift stores and flea markets were like second homes growing up. My family and I were always on the hunt for hidden gems, and over the years, I've become a master at spotting quality amidst the cast-offs. It's a skill I wear with pride! **Stories Woven in Fabric**I'm very passionate about the legacy of Hip-Hop music and  a firm believer in the power of storytelling, and for me, art is the language I speak. Each piece I create is a tiny narrative, waiting to unfold for its new owner. 

Kindness to the Earth & Its Residents

Respecting our planet and its creatures is a core value of mine. That's why I use pre-loved clothing and other reclaimed materials to bring my artistic vision to life. It's a sustainable way to create something beautiful, and that brings me immense joy. 

The Internet Opens Doors

I've worn many hats in my Gen X life, but none have fit quite as well as this one. Sure, I've had my fair share of "regular" jobs, but nothing compares to the thrill of the treasure hunt and the satisfaction of crafting something truly unique from what others might discard.  Thanks to the magic of the internet, I can finally share my creations with the world! I'm bursting with excitement about this new chapter and can't wait to turn my passion into a living. Welcome to my shop! I hope you find a piece that speaks to you, a little treasure to add your own story to.
 

Made To Last

Sustainable, Slow Fashion...These Totes & Pillows are built to be your everyday companions. With proper care, they'll serve you for years, even decades.  Made with love as works of American Black Folk Art that will be treasured and passed on to future generations.

**Returns & Repairs**

While I don't accept exchanges or returns, I stand behind the quality of my work. If your tote bag experiences any issues due to normal wear and tear (not intended to tote bowling balls or firewood!), I'll happily repair it for you, free of charge. (Shipping back to me is at your cost).

Small Acts, Big Impact.

Capturing the Culture & Refashioning the fabrics of fast fashion  

 Elevate your look while keeping the Earth happy.

REDUCE

Reduce: Hit pause on the endless shopping cycle! Every pre-loved tote or throw pillow you choose is one less new item produced. Plus, surrounding yourself with unique pieces means fewer clothes in the 'might wear again' closet section & less clothing waste in a landfill.
 

RECYCLE

Recycle:  Those leftover fabric bits from production? They don't end up in landfills here!  We meticulously patch them together to create tote straps, lettering, etc., that add a burst of personality to your piece.
 

REUSE

Reuse: We're obsessed with giving forgotten fabrics a new lease on life! Our one-of-a-kind totes and throw pillows are handcrafted from rescued materials, transforming past favorites into statement pieces for your everyday.
 

REWARD

We're giving back to the community by donating a full 5% of the profit from each purchase to creating mini totes for a Tri-City NY Domestic Abuse Shelter. These mini tote bags will be filled with toiletry essentials and gifted to the shelter in early December.
