Turning Ten

A full room, kind words, and booked appointments; my brand’s tenth anniversary party was a success! I still feel so grateful looking through these photos and reflecting on the support I received. To be surrounded by women who uplift, collaborate, appreciate, and encourage is the best gift I could ask for on this very special milestone.

Guests were given a sneak peek at our Fall 2025 delivery: The Double Breasted Overcoat, officially launching in June.

Clients, collaborators, friends, and new faces; over 50 people came out to celebrate 10 years with us!

Darlene, seated with Keri and her mother Debbie, wears our latest client make - a summer weight wool trench, in the same colour her father used to wear during his years in the military.

The colours in the coat’s black watch tartan wool compliment Adriana’s deep hair and bright smile as she chats with our host Andrea, author Andrea, and my biggest cheerleader, Ken.

With Mother’s Day just around the corner, Leigh and Maureen took me up on my invitation to make the event a mother daughter date.
