Julia Vasic’s new line of upcycled accessories takes all the virtues of the beloved basic tee turning it into the perfect summer accessory.

How do you top a tee when it comes to easy, breezy summer style? When San Francisco-based designer Julia Vasic, was presented with dozens of t-shirts leftover from the 2008 Obama campaign, she knew she could put them to good use.

The resulting fourteen-piece line of necklaces and bracelets Vasic recently launched, show off all the virtues of the beloved basic tee turned into the perfect summer accessory. “I love the soft feel of jersey, most of my favorite pieces in my wardrobe are soft fluid jersey pieces,” said Vasic. “Draped over a plain white t-shirt or tank top, the pieces add a great element of texture.”

“Melissa” in pink knotted with recycled gold plated tubes.

Vasic’s twisted and knotted strands are crafted in various lengths and combinations of black, white and pastel upcycled shirts to suit breezy layered styles. Their delicate modern style is punctuated with sleek gold plates and chains.

“Melissa” necklace in black, “Sunny” necklace in white with an organic hemp binding and “Joanna,” a single-knotted strand in peach with recycled double gold chain.

If you want something more customized, Vasic can take your favorite tee and turn it into a statement piece. Available at juliavasic.com, $40-$80. 10% of proceeds will be donated to Endangered Species Coalition.
