Liberate
we ARE liberated threads— A SAFE HAVEN redefining retail therapy THROUGH FASHION AND CREATIVE CONSCIOUSNESS!
Let’s be honest! who doesn’t love retail therapy? whether it’s buying some shoes as a reward after accomplishing a goal, religiously spending money to book your routined self-care appointments, or frequently checking your huge shopping cart on amazon while visualizing all THE things you’ll buy once pay day hits, THE PRIMARY PURPOSE OF RETAIL THERAPY IS TO IMPROVE ONE’S MOOD WHILE RESTORING A SENSE OF PERSONAL CONTROL.
ALTHOUGH THIS COPING MECHANISM IS VERY TYPICAL, WHAT is not common IS GETTING TO THE ROOT CAUSES OF THE STRESS, ANXIETY, OR DEPRESSION THAT LED TO NEEDING RETAIL THERAPY IN THE FIRST PLACE. THIS IS WHERE LIBERATED THREADS COMES IN!
LIBERATED THREADS’ mission is to OFFER A NEW FORM OF RETAIL THERAPY: THE ACT OF UTILIZING PRE-LOVED (THRIFTED) AND UPCYCLED CLOTHING INFUSED WITH THE ENERGETIC HEALING MODALITIES SUCH AS PLAY, DANCE, REIKI, KUNDALINI, TANTRA, ETC.. THIS formula—- where CREATIVITY MEETS SPIRITUALITY—- IS THE PERFECT combination TO help you HEAL THROUGH CREATIVE SELF-EXPRESSION. THIS FORM OF RETAIL THERAPY WILL UNLEASH and merge THE HEALER AND ARTIST WITHIN! WE EMBRACE OPEN-MINDEDNESS, QUIRKINESS, ECLECTIC, AND ECCENTRIC VIBES. ALL CREATIVES AND ALL CONSCIOUS-MINDED FOLX ARE WELCOMEd HERE! LET’S liberate ourselves and CREATE THE LIFE WE TRULY DESIRE!
“At the deepest level, the creative process & the healing process arise from a single source. When you are an artist, you are also a healer; A wordless trust in the same mystery is the foundation of your work and its integrity.””
We’re a multi-purposed clothing brand that believes in the power of higher levels of creativity through spirituality!

WHAT UP, FOLX!?! HERE’S A LITTLE BACKSTORY TO GIVE YOU A GLIMPSE INTO HOW LIBERATED THREADS STARTED AND THE DIRECTION IT’S NOW MOVING IN!
OK, SO BOOM! WHAT STARTED OFF AS A HOBBY DURING A NOT-SO-FUNCTIONAL STAGE OF ANXIETY-LED DEPRESSION DURING MY UNDERGRAD EXPERIENCE, TURNED INTO A FULL-BLOWN PASSION FOR CLOTHING DESIGN—ALL THANKS TO THE “LOST & FOUND” BOXES IN MY DORMITORY! SERIOUSLY! I DISCOVERED A NEW SAVING GRACE: UPCYCLING. BY BREATHING NEW LIFE INTO DISCARDED AND FORGOTTEN CLOTHING, I FOUND A WAY TO REVIVE MYSELF TOO.
UPCYCING—THE PROCESS OF TRANSFORMING OLD, DAMAGED, OR UNWANTED CLOTHING INTO NEW, STYLISH PIECES—BECAME MORE THAN A CREATIVE OUTLET. IT BECAME A FORM OF SELF-HEALING. TEACHING MYSELF TO SEW HELPED ME SHED OLD IDENTITIES AND PIECE TOGETHER A NEW ONE.
MANY YEARS LATER, INSPIRED BY MY JOURNEY TO STAY TRUE TO MY ARTISTIC SIDE WHILE DISCOVERING (AND MASTERING) MY SPIRITUAL GIFTS, LIBERATED THREADS WAS BORN! AS CREATIVES (AND TRUST ME, I HAVE TO REMIND MYSELF OF THIS CONSTANTLY), IT’S FAR TOO EASY TO GET CAUGHT UP IN CREATIVE, MENTAL, AND EMOTIONAL BLOCKAGES. WHAT’S NOT EASY IS UNDERSTANDING WHY THOSE BLOCKAGES EXIST AND HOW THEY’RE ACTUALLY MEANT TO HELP US. BUT LIFE HAS A FUNNY WAY OF REMINDING ME THAT OUR BIGGEST STUMBLING BLOCKS ARE OFTEN OUR GREATEST STEPPING STONES IN DISGUISE. WE JUST NEED THE EYES OF FAITH TO SEE THEM THAT WAY.
LIBERATED THREADS IS MORE THAN JUST A CLOTHING BRAND; IT’S A LIFESTYLE—ONE THAT INTEGRATES SPIRITUALITY INTO CREATIVITY. LET ME SHOW YOU HOW YOU CAN USE CLOTHING AS A KEY TO UNLOCK THE HEALER WITHIN BY LETTING YOUR INNER CHILD— aka THE ARTIST—RUN FREE!
