As The Survey Turns...

Thank you to everyone who completed the survey; we greatly appreciate your feedback. Although my Spring 2020 collection is currently in production, I'll do my best to include your ideas for future seasons. In fact, I'm working on the Fall 2020 season right now and hope to include some of your suggestions as I design.

As for the survey, I'd like to touch on some of the more popular results as they stand, since I found them to be quite interesting. Perhaps you will, too!

Pants On Fire

There were many requests for a slim pant with pockets. You read my mind! This Spring, I will be releasing our Ignite Pant, which is exactly that; a slimmer fit with flat-to-the body pockets.

Petite Proposals

As a petite person myself, I understand the demand for shorter tops and pants. I am glad to see that there were many comments for such pieces. While we do have a few bottoms available in  I will definitely consider making more garments that can be worn by petites like shorter tops.

Colourful Comments

While I received requests for more colours in the warmer range (such as browns), we require a certain amount of demand, in order for us to order new colours from our Canadian Mills. We need to order 300 meters for each colour and as a small company it can be difficult to make use of that much yardage in colours that traditionally do not sell as well as the cooler tones. However I'm still choosing colours and putting the fall colour and fabric selection together. There is a potential for a wider assortment of colours in other fabrics like wool or cotton as well. I'll do my best!


Crew on Deck...I mean neck.   


We're releasing a new piece for Spring, called the "Tranquil Tunic". We hope that this pleases those who asked for more crew neck tops!

We've also heard that more variation in collars and necklines would be nice and I think so, too. Thankfully, you'll be seeing a few of those in our upcoming collection, and I hope they'll be enjoyed as much as I enjoyed designing them. I'll continue to think creatively, as I design for Fall.

Skirting Around

I haven't thought about it for years, but it seems like you have! I have some great ideas for skirts and am very happy to be designing one for the upcoming Fall season. 

Thank you!

I loved reading every one of your comments and it helps me design pieces that you'll love, so I'm very grateful for your input.
