GLAD YOU ARE HERE!
HI, I'M TANNER FROST BOWEN
I absolutely love to sew, create, and design clothing for myself. I love it so much that I want to pass on that joy to others. I believe that it is life-changing to sew with skill and make garments that empower and uplift. I started Garbie so that you will feel this as well.
MY STORY
I started sewing by making quilts and eventually moved to soft sculptures and weird masks and editorial costumes. In my art practice and garment endeavors I use all sustainable and repurposed materials. This is a worthwhile limit that I work within so that I make art pieces that are environmentally friendly and garments that divert waste from our landfills.
MY WHY
I love communication! I draw a lot of satisfaction from distilling information and informing someone of a concept that they would otherwise not fully understand.
Sewing is a true passion of mine. It is a daily creative practice that excites my brain and brings me joy. I deeply think that it important to share this joy with others.
MY VALUES
I believe that we have a problem on our hands.
Our plant is burdened with clothing. So much of the fast fashion industry ends up in our landfills every year.
I want to be a small piece in the solution to this problem by extending the life of the clothing I already have and making clothes from materials that already exist.
