MEET YOUR MENTOR
Hi, I'm Crispina. I'm in the business of helping recycled textile artists become successful entrepreneurs.
I'm a recycled textile activist, industry professional, and entrepreneur who has dedicated my life to using sustainable materials and recycling textiles. I've been doing this work for more than 30 years...long before any even uttered the words, "up-cycling" or "eco."
My ultimate goal with RAGS TO RICHES is to reduce global textile waste and show others how to do it too. I've worked with some of the biggest names in textiles: Patagonia, Eileen Fisher, Timberland and Crate and Barrel and share everything I know with recycled textile artists so they can become successful entrepreneurs. And save the world at the same time.
Psst! Wanna know something?
It is not even that hard to increase income and grow impact with textile upcycling with the necessary tools, audience and mindset.
The Rags to Riches Textile Upcycling Summit is here to show you just that - AND teach you how.
After attending RAGS TO RICHES you'll know...
