INTERVIEWS OF FASHION: Supadupa Vintage (GIVEAWAY!!!)
Edited by Hillary Frazier
Love shredded tees but too afraid/untalented/lazy to make one yourself? Tatiana and the crew at Supadupa Vintage are recycling old tshirts to create AMAZING (and even more amazingly affordable) shredded tees, available online, and at Wasteland and Virgo Boutique. Like any of my new found best friends, I discovered these lovely people on the internet (Myspace actually, okay don’t make fun of me), and ever since they have been picking up SERIOUS steam. We’ve been lucky enough to get a couple of their Kukoon tees for a giveaway, one of which is the same seen on Kim Kardashian!
Before I leak the details to the giveaway, check out what SDVTG is all about!

FASHIONINDIE: How’d you turn your DIY addiction into a business?
SDVTG: I washed a vintage t shirt that had a couple holes in them and it looked pretty neat! some of the holes made like this shredding effect and i decided to go about it there! and made a beautiful long shredded tunic for myself! I cannot say the “secret” on how to do it but I just decided to take my shirt out a night out of town and everyone loved it including my friends so that’s when I thought well why not make some to sell and let it be part of Supadupa Vintage’s first design collection, since it was just an Ebay store! and that’s how it came about 
FI: How’d you come up with the idea for these one of a kind, recycled and distressed tees?
SDVTG: Pretty much since our store is all about re-selling vintage pieces that are reconstructed or just an amazing vintage piece! I decided that why not instead of using new tees make them all with recycled vintage tees! And it is the same concept and well i guess you can say its an eco-friendly line with an edge.
FI: Do you do all the custom shredding yourself? (how on earth long does that take?!)
I just learned “the secret” and thats it.
About opening a store hmm not right now! But we are trying to sell to more stores internationally! We might have our t shirt in mexico we are not sure yet but we are in the works. wasteland clothing just got our tees and already made another order, we are super excited! We also just heard that we are on Marie Claire magazine on page 40.
