Welcome to Fafafoom Studio
Repurposing textile waste to construct, refashion, or repair garments and accessories.We invite you to waste not, wear more by sharing design how-tos and resources to:
We rescue and upcycle discarded fabric remnants, textile samples, and other materials to create custom garments, accessories, and home decor.
We thoughtfully repair torn or worn out clothes, vintage garments, and accessories whenever possible to extend their life span and wearability.
We deconstruct pre-owned clothes and accessories, redesign, and piece them together to reassemble them into garments with new silhouette / colors / surface patterns / embellishments.

Gathered Cloths
An active study of collecting and repurposing textile waste into functional and modular apparel design. Growing amounts of scrap cloth are gathered and assembled into a new form with each iteration.

Who We Are
About Us
Mira Musank is a textile upcycling artist based in San Francisco Bay Area – land of indigenous tribes Ohlone, Muwekma, and Lisjan.
Repurposing discarded textile samples, used clothes, and fabric remnants, she transforms them into custom garments and home decor. Her designs are inspired by a combination of Western haute couture and traditional East / Southeast Asian cultures.
Through an intuitive process of sewing, weaving, and hand embroidery, Mira aims to give second chances to so-called textile waste in more intimate yet expressive intentions. She also regularly redistributes materials to the local community for creative reuse.
