About Revaia - formerly Blue Tortuga Ink

Welcome to Revaia, where fashion finds a second life.

Revaia was born in the stillness of the pandemic somewhere between Marie Kondo’s -The Life Changing Magic of Tidying Up- and the quiet realization that I had a closet full of clothes… many with the tags still on.

Like many of us, I was shopping to fill something deeper without even realizing it. But as the world slowed down, I began to see things differently. I started organizing my closet, one garment at a time, and uncovering stories I had forgotten. That’s when I realized: I wasn’t just over-consuming I was disconnected.

It started small: exchanging pieces with friends and family, reselling items on online platforms, and slowly falling in love with the stories behind pre-loved fashion. I began learning from European fashion communities, especially in Paris, where secondhand isn’t just practical it’s an art form.

Then came thrifting. Then came upcycling. My favorite project? A Solace London  suit in bold hot pink. It was damaged, but I transformed it into a two-piece set and something inside me shifted. I wasn’t just styling clothes anymore. I was reviving them.

At Revaia, we believe fashion should feel soulful.
That it should celebrate what already exists.
That it can be both sustainable and elevated.

Every piece is carefully selected, sometimes repaired or reimagined, and always offered with love. We believe fashion doesn’t have to be fast to be meaningful. That slowing down is powerful. That sharing is beautiful.

Thank you for being here. Whether you’re shopping, learning, or simply browsing, you’re part of something more meaningful.

Welcome to Revaia. 🤍
