Happy Monday! ✨
Today, I want to take the time to reintroduce La petite store ny to my new followers :)
This past May, I started making face masks as a way to support myself during this crazy year, but supporting my self wasn't my only intention when creating LPS. One of my biggest motivations was to find a way that would help reduce the use of disposable face masks. It was very upsetting seeing so many disposable face masks in the streets of our beautiful neighborhood. This is why, I wanted to create a cute and comfy mask that people would reuse and enjoy wearing. I spent a good time looking for nice fabrics and prints, creating a pattern that would fit most people comfortably, looking for materials that I could source from our local vendors, following CDC guidelines to make safe cotton masks, and using a sustainable way to deliver my petite creations.
Starting LPS has been one of the best things I have ever done! ☺️ In the process, I have met amazing people, discovered new places, partnerd with some of the best businesses in Astoria, biked like I had never biked before, and most importantly, I have helped people take care of themselves using a cute comfy mask.
Thank you for your support! LPS wouldn't be what it is if it wasn't for you 💙🥰
