This collection is for my mom.
She taught me how to sew when I was a little girl and ran a sewing school out of our house—one of my most treasured childhood memories. I grew up spending weekends in her sewing studio, watching her create so many beautiful things for us—ruffled dresses, matching Sunday church outfits, sun bonnets, always lots of frills and lace. Peak 90’s. Without her, there would be no ennui.
She passed away unexpectedly less than five months ago, and three months ago, I became a mother to another little girl without her here. There has been so much grief and so much joy wrapped up together this year.
I found myself coming back to the things she left behind: faded Laura Ashley flannel sheets I found tucked away in the linen closet, dusty blue lace from her sewing materials, old fabrics and little things collected and saved over decades.
This collection (and really this whole brand) is about heirlooms, domestic textiles, motherhood, and memory. Housewears for the ordinary parts of life— clothes to be comfortable in, to grow and change in, for slow (or chaotic and messy) days at home. Things that get softer and more worn with time and become part of our memories.
Making this collection gave me somewhere to put my grief, and frankly distract myself, in an impossibly difficult time. It helped me keep my mom close and her memory alive. It’s always been for you, but this one especially.
Rest easy, Mama. I hope I made you proud.
Come see the collection on the runway this Friday at Hudson Valley Sustainable Fashion Week Hudson Valley Sustainable Fashion Week Stone Ridge Orchard , and shop it in person Saturday at the Slow Fashion Fair. 🤍
