For me, fashion has always been more than trends or brands. It’s about helping people find confidence, expression, and a sense of belonging through personal style. There’s nothing more fulfilling than watching someone light up when they feel truly seen in what they’re wearing. My joy comes from unlocking that feeling for others — helping them feel worthy, valued, and part of a community.
Since COVID, I’ve been in a constant game of catch-up. Like so many small business owners, the last few years have been a rollercoaster. I’ve poured everything into keeping my doors open, and I truly wouldn’t have made it this far without the love and support of my clients — many of whom I now consider family. Your encouragement has been everything.
But recently, things have taken another tough turn. From economic uncertainty to rising costs, tariffs, and tightening credit — I’ve run out of options. Banks are no longer supporting truly small, day-to-day businesses the way they used to. Lines of credit have shrunk, and the safety nets we relied on are gone.
I’ve always lived within my means, and I believe deeply in paying it forward — helping others survive, thrive, and feel seen. Now, I’m the one who needs help.
If my work has touched your life in any way, or if you believe in supporting small businesses that give back to their communities, I humbly ask for your support. Every contribution, no matter how small, goes directly toward keeping this dream alive — not just for me, but for everyone who walks through my doors needing a reminder of their worth.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
