I think it's important to not just create beautiful, expressive and quality pieces, but create them in a way and with materials that support a sustainable life style. As consumers but more importantly as producers of fashion, it's important to know where and how are products come from. Knowing that things such as leather, wool, fur and silk are acquired in ways that are harmful to animals and some
times the environment has compelled me to be socially responsible and not use animal products or by-products in the things I produce. There are so many other materials that can be used to create beautiful, fashion forward pieces. I would like my shop to place an emphasis on sustainability and using the things we have to make, create and inspire a better tomorrow. After developing an interest in fashion and being tired of just sketching things, I asked for and was given a sewing machine for Christmas by my sister. I taught myself how to sew and I was able to bring the things I had imagined to life. After sewing everything from pillows to blankets, clothing to curtains, I found my real passion was with accessories. I started with small clutches for myself and have now expanded to bigger clutches, tote bags and crossbody bags. I want them to have character. I feel accessories are the perfect way for anyone to express themselves outside of the realm of clothing. I create pieces that do that
