The Company:
Two friends wanted to give their wardrobes, and the wardrobes of other women, something that didn’t exist in the market. A blazer, created for her. For them. The foundational element of a wardrobe fit for work, or leisure…and uniquely, for a bit of both.
So from a place of intuition, the promise of the brand took shape:
- to create pieces that fit into women’s lives. Purposefully.
- to create pieces that fit into women’s wardrobes. Seamlessly.
- and, to create pieces that fit women. Well.
This promise continues to drive two friends, two designers, two women of many women who desire style that fits.
