Two friends wanted to give their wardrobes, and the wardrobes of other women, something that didn’t exist in the market. A blazer, created for her. For them. The foundational element of a wardrobe fit for work, or leisure and uniquely, for a bit of both.

This promise continues to drive two friends, two designers, two women of many women who desire style that fits.
