At Robert Upcycle & Co., our name is more than just a brand—it's a bit of family lore and a nod to the art of reinvention. The name "Robert Upcycle" stems from a cheeky story from my childhood. When I was little, I asked my Dad why a bike was called a bicycle. Always teasing, he told me it was because a man named Robert Bicycle had invented it. I believed him wholeheartedly until I was way too old! This inside joke has been part of our family story telling ever since.
Naming my business Robert Upcycle & Co. is a tribute to my Dad's playful spirit and a reminder of the joy and creativity that upcycling brings. Just as my Dad's joke reinvented a simple explanation, our upcycling efforts breathe new life into old items, transforming them into unique pieces that tell a story.
Even my own name reflects this theme of reinvention. I was named after my Great-Grandmother Gena and my Grandmother Maxine, making my name an upcycled family heirloom. This carries forward the legacy of the amazing women in my family.
Robert Upcycle & Co. is a celebration of creativity, family, and the unique stories that shape our lives. We hope to bring the same sense of joy and connection to your home with our upcycled treasures.
