Rivka is Rebecca in Hebrew, and means yoking together.  I have recently been delving into my Jewish heritage and learning the rituals and stories that have always intrigued me. To me,

Rivka is yoking together the past with the future. 

It is from this questioning and learning about my past that I have gone deeper into what came before us in all aspects of my life.

In 2020 when the pandemic happened and supply was halted, I started to turn my passion for thrifting into my love for designing, to create clothing from clothing.

 Menswear to everywhere. 

 Converting an already final product into a more versatile, fun, classy and ultimately new original piece.

All clothing on the site is either one of a kind if tailored from second hand, or produced in small runs, all sewn in house by me. 

While the crops are a simple concept, the length of hem discovered and patterns found, are all a part of the artistry and concept of this seasonless collection.  Everything is intentional.

The design of the chore coat came to me seamlessly.  It is a timeless piece that is functional for artists. the 3/4 sleeve length already there so as not to take time to roll up your sleeves.  The pockets are deep and strong enough for tools, whatever your trade.

 

* All scraps from the crops are cut up and used as the stuffing for my bolsters over at Yoke, my yoga studio in Trinidad, CO. 

*I feel like it needs to be stated that I do not believe any land is ours and we are ALL the chosen people. I do not condone violence inflicted on anyone else or weapons used on innocent civilians, especially children.
