Hi, I’m Melanie Saldaña. As someone who believes in "a sequin dress on a Tuesday," I created Curated Cuties to share my passion for wearable art. I offer curated preloved clothing and bespoke upcycled projects so you can express yourself without it costing the earth.

What is upcycled?

Upcycling is the creative transformation of unwanted products into new items with higher artistic or environmental value.

From Found to Fabulous: My Creative Journey

My journey began with making gifts for my family, but it quickly blossomed into an unexpected passion. I find it impossible to leave charming, unwanted pieces of clothing behind—much like a rescuer at an animal shelter, I feel a drive to give them a new life. My passion is to transform these forgotten items into unique, wearable art. Curated Cuties allows me to share that creative process with the community as I continue to evolve as an artist.
