I strive for quality and use couture sewing techniques in many of garments. I continue to learn new techniques and improve my skills and processes daily.

  Where and how are products made?
  All garments are made in my pet-free, smoke-free home studio near Jacksonville, FL. I store, handle and treat all garments and supplies with care. I use ethically sourced garments where possible but especially in my Ankara Culture Collection items. Little to no waste is involved in my processing as I use and/or save all scraps! I am constantly making efforts to make sustainable products and often use vendors and suppliers who do the same.
