The Artful Rugs of Things Borrowed: The textile business, Things Borrowed, grew out of a passion project in between Jorie Kosel’s work as an actor, as a costume designer, and at a local vintage shop.
Multidisciplinary artist Jorie Kosel put some spring in our step with her artful rugs that come to life through abstract patterns and vibrant colors. Kosel’s textile business, Things Borrowed, grew out of a passion project in between her work as an actor, as a costume designer, and at a local vintage shop.
These days (and nights), you’ll also find her crafting cocktails as a bartender at Demi in Minneapolis. Inspired by natural landscapes and topography, Kosel weaves her creations using wool yarn made from recycled bottles.
“My pieces are not meant to go with everything, to blend into a space or tie things together,” Kosel says. “They’re meant to energize, meant to make you smile.”
The textiles come in a range of sizes, from welcome mats, place mats, and pads for potted plants to art on the wall. Find more of her work on Instagram, @thingsborrowed.

About: Our Story
Joeleen Torvick is an independent designer brand that creates women’s clothing which is modern and refined while still allowing women to showcase their individual style. The clothing is stylishly chic and sophisticated with an effortlessness that makes the pieces easy to wear for many aspects of your busy life.
Because we care about safe and ethical working conditions, all of our product is designed, sampled, and produced under one roof. We also care about sustainability and work primarily with natural fibers – cotton, bamboo, silk, wool, linen, and any synthetics used are from deadstock fabric (meaning the fabric may have slight flaws which we work around, or is no longer in production and available in limited quantities).
