Our Story

We are redefining what it means to get dressed—with joy, meaning, and authenticity at the heart.

From hand-painted and sustainably printed silk scarves and clothing to bespoke commissions that turn your most treasured experiences into wearable heirlooms, Kathy’s work is where fashion, heritage, and personal storytelling intertwine.

Everyone has a story to tell. We create pieces of wearable art where you can wear your story on your sleeve. Every brushstroke and design tells a story—of identity, heritage, and self-expression—inviting the wearer to embrace their authentic self and redefine beauty and acceptance on their own terms.

We invite you to celebrate who you are, your uniqueness, your joy and self-expression in the most beautiful and sustainable way.

"Everyone has a story to tell, and I wanted to create collections where people can wear art on their sleeve.”
