About Our Collection Names

What's In a Name

When I first had the idea of reproducing some of my most treasured vintage pieces & creating my own clothing line, I was reminded of my grandmothers... One of which was a seamstress and the other, who appreciated fashion and was quite particular in putting herself together.

When it came time to name my collections, I decided to pay tribute to them, their mothers & other dear woman who have passed, whom we called 'Grandma'

• Our first collection the 'Elsie' Wrap Skirt is named after my Grandmother Elsie, my Fathers Mother.

• Our 'Velma' Wrap Dress is named after Elsies Mother, my Great Grandmother Velma.

 • Our 'Dotty' Tunic Dress is named after my Grandma Dorothy or Dot, my Mothers Mother.

• Our 'Macie' Kimono Cardigan is named after a wonderful woman that my boyfriends family called 'Nana'

Our ‘Maria' Tunic Dress is named after my boyfriends Grandmothers on both sides.

The ‘Margaret’ dress was designed after an old Indian piece I have loved for over 30 years. Margaret is my Great Grandmother, my father's grandmother.
