Reif

Lindsey Reif is a self-taught seamstress and designer living in Portland, Oregon.  She took up sewing as a hobby after migrating to Oregon from the midwest.  Her first projects were one-offs, made from tablecloths, curtains, or whatever she could find at thrift stores.  Since then, her creations have evolved into well-tailored, smart garments.  In 2008, Lindsey decided to launch her own line, Reif, a collection of men's and women's clothing.  Finding frustration with her own wardrobe, and the lack of pieces to tie everything together, Lindsey decided to create these wardrobe staples.  Clothing should be versatile, and the last thing she wanted to see was her designs ending up at resale shops one season later!  Reif clothing will spend more time on shoulders and hips than in closets.
