In your words.

Beautiful materials. Impeccable sewing. Originality with an elegant edge.

Swipe to read what two cowl customers shared about their pieces. Thank you for choosing my designs and for taking the time to share what makes them special to you.

Find your cowl through Shop Cowls at the link in my bio.

Not costume. A nod to the past.

Victorian meets Rococo in salt-and-pepper tweed: a tall funnel collar, a gathered bow-shaped drape and an antique brass clasp. Made to wear now, not just to look back. This cowl is one of one: when it’s gone, it’s gone.

New drop tomorrow.

Victorian, rewired.

A high funnel collar, a folded black lapel and a row of snaps, cut in salt-and-pepper tweed. The Tweed Cowl is a one-of-one piece: when it’s gone, it’s gone.

Part of the new drop.

The neck and shoulders are where people look first.

A handmade cowl, a short cape or a detachable neck collar: three ways to dress a black wardrobe for autumn. The ruched snap cowl stands high or drapes, the short cape shapes the shoulder, and a Victorian-inspired lace collar sits over anything you already own.

New in the Journal: Cowl, Cape, Collar. Link in bio.

Snapped to the jaw, it stands.
Undone, it falls.

Ruched wool gauze with five snaps, so you choose the shape: a high turtleneck or a soft draped cowl. Lined in knit jersey against the skin.

The studio has been quiet since spring.
It is not quiet now.

Something new is taking shape. More soon.
