Unique upcycled clothing, handmade in Texas.

Announcement
The term "fado" is Gaelic for "in years past" or "what came before". If you happen to be a reader of old Irish fairy tales, you may have seen the word as it is used similar to our English "once upon a time". When I was looking for a name for this shop, I saw Fado and knew it was IT! Everything here has come before.
Everything here is made from upcycled materials. It might be a piece of clothing or a vintage linen but I love using materials found at estate sales and thrift shops and giving those materials a new life.
This shop is actually an offshoot of my first shop which I opened on Etsy in 2014 called Yoga's My Bag. Check it out if you're looking for a one-of-a-kind yoga bag (yep, I’ve got upcycled bags) or to check my reviews: https://www.etsy.com/shop/YogasMyBag?ref=hdr_shop_menu.
I thank you for your time as you browse around Fadoware. I've loved being on Etsy but the best has been working with my customers. I love doing custom orders and would completely enjoy working on something unique just for you. Thank you Etsy for the friendships I've made here.
Blessings
Sandra Powell
