Reif

Lindsey Reif brought her fingers to her obsession with vintage clothing shortly after her move to Portland in 2002. A self taught seamstress, she began by making one-offs from recycled materials such as curtains and sheets, and found that she was always attracted to the prints and color schemes of vintage fabric. As her skill level grew, so did her point of view as a designer. After graduating from Portland State University in 2007 with a degree in Spanish and Applied Linguistics (go figure), Lindsey formed her eponymous clothing line, Reif, with the intention to create garments that would spend more time on shoulders and hips than in closets.
