Spring / Summer 2012
Re-Invented, Re-Cycled, One-of-a-Kind G.E.A.R. for YOUR everday life ...whatever and wherever that may be.
HANDMADE IN ALABAMA, USA
Kellie GuthrieOwner/Founder
Re-Invention (R-I) is a For-Benefit, lifestyle company based out of Alabama. As a For-Benefit company, our net-profits support the organizations and ministries we are currently working with, while we seek out oth-er places and people who have a desire to create real change through sustainable employment.
R-I has a vision for world-wide change by supporting and creating employment-based solutions called Social Enterprises. G.E.A.R. (Go! Everyone, Everywhere and Re-Invent) is our effort to play a role in breaking the chains of poverty here at home. G.E.A.R. is a collec-tion of Re-Invented, re-cycled and re-purposed home accents, furnishings, and other goods that serve a bigger purpose than just gorgeous additions to rooms in a home. These “beautiful works of art” begin with up-cycled, burlap coffee bean sacks paired with remnant and re-cycled fabrics, in crisp cotton, vintage or luxe, that look stunning against the rawness of the burlap. G.E.A.R. connects consumers to the lives of those our goods represent and exhibits just how simple it can be for anyone to be a part of changing the world!
G.E.A.R. is R-I’s initiative to “Re-Invent” where we live. Years ago, I made the decision that I would no longer “just work”, but serve through my work. Although G.E.A.R. was formed to create jobs, all of our goods are made with the hope of expanding who our net-profits will serve. Our first partnership is with the homeless at Friendship Mission in Montgomery, Alabama, where women and men learn to cut, sew, and create with the ultimate goal of arming them with the necessary skills and confidence to work with us or seek other employment. Through this initial partnership we are creating opportunities for work that promote the sustainability of our world and the lives of those who
live in it. We have begun to live our dream to serve by providing love and compassion for our neighbor-whether right next door or halfway around the world.
Our Design Philosophy is sustainability, texture, color...and more color! We are inspired by the beautiful colors and moods of the world we live in and desire to translate the lives of those we serve into every piece we create. Our goal is to make it “here” while including fabrics and parts from “there”- wherever “there” may be. By taking materials most would discard and mix-ing them with a lot of hope, something of truth and beauty emerges! Due to the sustainability component, all of our goods are One Of A Kind or Limited Editions. Every piece we create is also transitional and can move from room to room with ease...transitioning from living room to bedroom, dining room to porch.
True Value is a vital component in every piece of the G.E.A.R. collection. We do this by keeping our prices as affordable as possible. Ultimately, we want the story told. Our hope is that our buyers and their customers get to know the organizations and ministries we work with. One of our top priorities is to provide sustainable employment, and to accomplish this we need to sell what we make and, most importantly, allow people to be a part of a much bigger story!
We mean it when we say it is a privilege to work with you. We step forward into 2012 with grateful hearts and a big dream!
Let’s GO! Let’s all GO! Everyone, Everywhere and Re-Invent.

Signature Patchwork Pillows
Our Signature Patchwork is made from our very own re-cycled fabric scraps. From these fabrics, we’ve created a gorgeous palette of color in the warm corals, reds and greens of Provence, - the cool, vivacious blacks, whites, and Asian flairs of Tokyo, - and the gritty blues, reds, browns and denim of Addis. All of the colors are part of the individual color palettes, each piece is One-Of-A-Kind...not one piece can be re-created.

The Organizing Board is a great piece to hang in your closet for jewels and treasures or display as you come in the door so reminders, school papers, and notices won’t be forgotten. The hooks are the perfect spot to never again ask, “Has anyone seen my keys?” Both are made from re-purposed window frames.
