My first order is a local one and although my packaging isn’t fully branded yet, and I don’t have all the little extras... I decided to just post this anyways. Every small business has a first order, and this one’s mine. Thank you for being here from the beginning.

Cheers to starting before everything feels “ready.”🤍

Hello everyone,

I am temporarily shifting my focus from garment sewing to crafting accessories for sale. These quilted purses feature 100% cotton material, are machine washable, and include interior pockets. If you’re looking for a cute statement piece, this product fits the bill. Please send me a direct message if you’re interested, and keep an eye out for additional color options soon. 💕

🌟 Senior Spotlight: Sydney Lyles 🌟

Join us in celebrating Sydney Lyles, a creative and driven student at Lindenwood University whose passion for fashion, leadership, and mentorship has made a lasting impact!

✨ Her journey includes:

Served as a Resident Assistant in Ayres Hall, supporting and building community among students
Public Relations Chair for the Black Student Union (2024), leading digital media, flyers, reels, and event coordination
Member of the LU Gospel Choir, singing alto/soprano 🎶
Participant in Kansas City Fashion Week (Spring 2025) with Lindenwood
Selected for Most Marketable Collection at the Lindenwood Senior Show
Recipient of a Lindy Award for Most Marketable Look 🏆

Sydney is currently completing an internship at Sumner High School as a teacher’s aide and fashion assistant. In this role, she mentors and inspires students—encouraging them to explore their creativity, try new things, and not limit themselves. She also shares hands-on skills such as draping, patterning, patchwork, altering, upcycling, and guides them through creative concepts like mood boards and customer profiles.

Through her leadership and mentorship, Sydney is pouring into others just as others have poured into her—and that impact will continue far beyond the classroom.

👏 We are so proud of Sydney and all she has accomplished. The future of fashion is bright!

Our CEO, @xini.lai wearing the white denim cargo slacks, a sleek versatile pant that’s able to be dressed up and down. 💛

Side note : The fact that this is my first time in like 5 years wearing my own designs is crazy lol.

I met Syd at Lindenwood back in 2021 through a mutual friend! Never would I have guessed I’d be walking her designs down Lindenwood’s Runway years later! 🥹🔥🔥

I’m so glad we reunited & so proud of how far you have come! I know you will continue to do amazing things & go far in this industry! Just keep swimming🐠🫶🏽💋 @koiyllc x @xini.lai

This past semester ended with our senior spring fashion show, and it couldn’t have ended any better. I’m beyond blessed for all the opportunities, awards, and help that @lindenwoodfashion has brought forth. While also grateful for the lessons I’ve learned about myself and as a designer throughout this last year on my own. I’ve challenged myself, tried new things, and can’t wait to grow and push myself even more as a designer and entrepreneur in the future.

p.s ok this for sure is the last post about this collection, I think lol.
