It all started with an uncontrollable itch. Not one of those that you get on the random spot in your back. This one was much deeper, an internal one that I couldn't let go.
I wanted to do something bold with my creativity. I wanted to connect my dual passions: creating and helping people in need. I long had the idea, but never the courage to create this concept, a shop where a portion of the profits benefit other people besides me and my ever-growing love for polka dotted clothing.
It wasn't until I started to see other people doing something similar. I heard stories of people scraping their profits to do something beautiful, something sacrificial. And I said yes! This is it!
So, The Scrapperie was born. It's seen a lot of different phases - from craft supplies to earrings to bracelets to accessories. But I'm so excited about its future.
