Corduroy and Khadi Denim
The blue corduroy is our first organic cotton with a clear beginning: grown on this farm, by these people.
The khadi denim carries a different kind of history—woven into India’s independence and national pride. I’m deeply honored to have it in the shop.
Both skirts are lush and full, heavy and delicious. Both feel light, fresh, and new.

How Fitting Podcast
My patternmaker and I connected when I had a retail space in St. Louis (where she is located). She invited me to be on her podcast in 2020, and then again this year.
Alison asks about my next goals in both episodes and it's pretty wild to hear the difference in my answers. In 2020, I was riding high, having just relaunched my business after navigating covid shutdowns. I had dreams of a retail space with onsite tailoring and consignment.
I'll let you listen to hear my answer in 2025. You can tell your girl has been through it. More accurately, you can tell I've learned a lot about what it takes to manufacture clothing and run a business.
Tomorrow Needs Cowboys
Silk, once a luxury reserved for the elite, became an essential item for working cowboys.
Be inspired by how the cowboys democratized silk, and my styling tips for the new silk scarves:
Silk Scarf Care Tips
My silk scarves are labeled as dry clean recommended, but silk itself is washable—it's dye transfer that can be an issue.
Researching, experimenting, and learning to care for these silk scarves has been a rewarding experience. It’s reminded me how embracing the lost art of laundering clothing can elevate the enjoyment and appreciation of our wardrobes.
After experimenting with various washing and drying methods, I’ve shared my favorites in these videos. Please note that I can’t guarantee there won’t be dye transfer, so hand wash at your own discretion.
