At Magg’s Rags, no two pieces are ever the same. Founded by multi medium artist Maggie McLaughlin, the second-hand clothing brand is focused on transforming discarded fabrics by sewing them into one-of-a-kind Magg’s Rags creations. Every piece is hand-picked, hand-stitched, and given a new life with Maggie's whimsical graphics.

Over the past five years, Magg's Rags has reshaped the contemporary sewing landscape, setting distinctive trends and revitalizing the appliqué sewing technique with a unique take on free-motion embroidery and delicate scissorwork. Magg's Rags designs are instantly recognizable—whether it’s a lobster sipping a martini, a rat in a bikini smoking a cigarette, or a giant alligator wrapping 360° around the base of a dress. 

Each piece Maggie creates is thoughtfully crafted to stand the test of time and weaves together a mosaic of second hand textiles.

Maggie’s work challenges conventional ideas about fashion and waste, using what we have around us as inspiration for something new. Through brand collaborations, capsule-style website drops, and her drive for change within the fashion industry, Maggie remains a fierce voice within the sewing and second hand fashion landscape. Utilizing her unique take on up-cycling, Maggie has designed collaborative second-hand clothing lines with Urban Outfitters, Free People, Dickies, and man more. She firmly believes her funky designs can be the entryway into a broader conversation about climate change and beyond.
