Montgomery boutique turns trash into trendy threads

HOUSTON, Texas -- Morgan Calhoun rescues clothes destined for landfills and upcycle them into one-of-a-kind shirts, jackets, and hats.

"I feel like everyone is just buying, buying, buying rather than reusing," Calhoun said. "So, I'm super passionate about repurposing the clothing you already have."

You can find Calhoun's original designs at Sweet Texas Treasures, a Boutique she opened in 2016.

It's a business that all started with a Texas-themed onesie she made for her newborn daughter.

"I was able to turn my passion into a brand," Calhoun said. "Our designs now, for Sweet Texas Treasures, have been in over 350 boutiques nationwide."
