Olivia Mancini is a Saratoga Springs High School senior who has been sewing for most of her life. While largely self-taught, she also learned sewing techniques and creative tips from her grandmothers along the way. What began with tailoring and mending clothing eventually grew into designing and creating her own shoulder bags, purses, and makeup bags.

Using second-hand fabrics sourced from vintage quilts, sheets, repurposed textiles, and leftover materials from fellow sewists, Olivia creates pieces that are both sustainable and one of a kind. She loves giving beautiful fabrics a second life and turning them into something practical, creative, and uniquely personal. Many of her materials are sourced locally from Sew Something Creative in Ballston Spa.
