It has been quite some time since I have written.

So much as happened and continued to unfurl as we lean into the new year, into Spring, into a new cycle.

Many internal shifts within our little company have generated a new sense of confidence as the team feels solid and more inspiration as a sense of freedom comes with the solid foundation.

Last year left us feeling winded - and our cherished time over the holidays gave us a much needed sense of renewal.

Spring arrives with such vigour! A horizon of possibilities!

With our experience from last year we have come to understand that we cannot lean into this new year with any expectations. We must practice allowing it to unfold and to trust.

Many new and beautiful connections are being made.

Once I have more free time and more pictures I cannot wait to share with you the team and all their amazing contributions.

We have 5 seamstresses, a pattern drafter who helps with grading + trueing, a book keeper/ administrator, an assistant, myself + other important support personnel.

We all work from home. We all have our own rhythms. We all work together. We all love what we do. We respect each other and are open to this collective journey we are on as we continue to learn and grow.

We also know it can change at anytime - the world seems somewhat precarious - therefore we appreciate the Now.

One of the most beautiful aspects of my job is to connect with all of you out there.
All your emails, DM’s, studio visits and phone conversations are magic - there is such generosity of spirit, kindness and sincerity.
I am always to touched by those of you who take the time to reach out + connect.

It is not unusual to begin a conversation as a customer and finish and a friend.

It is a delight to clothe you.
