Capsule Collection 2020

9/7/2020

​Before I release my new work during SF Bay Area Craft Week I want to share more about my process for this year's collection.

My design process often starts with a few fabric choices and textile techniques I want to play with. This year it became clear that my studio time was going to be very limited and I decided I could not work on larger quantities which require a lot of management and frequent commuting to San Francisco. ​

So I decided to produce everything extremely local [by locally I mean here in Napa, CA and, no, …there is no garment industry in the Wine Country!]. The result is a very limited unique collection.

​The beautiful fabrics were lovingly hand-dyed with natural ingredients by Brooke Sinnes of 
Sincere Sheep and my friend Luisa helped me with some of the simple embroideries.
​All the garments were sewn by myself here in my Napa studio and I embroidered the more elaborate designs. 


Every piece in this collection is one-of-a-kind and very close to my heart.  
​
The new collection will drop on Wednesday 9/9 during 
SF Bay Area Craft Week for American Craft Council Members and on Thursday 9/10 for the general public.
