Maria in Tulle Dots!

Fashion has always been my passion, deeply rooted in my upbringing as a third-generation Angeleno. Growing up amidst the chic elegance of poolside parties and beachside barbecues in Los Angeles and frequent escapes to Palm Springs' desert oasis infused my California casual yet glamorous design aesthetic. These local vibes clearly left an easy breezy spirit on me and my aesthetic in every aspect of my life. Raised in a family of five, with a mother who encouraged me to pursue my dreams, I embarked on a journey that led me from boutique work on Rodeo Drive to styling for local media and eventually to Paris, where I immersed myself in art, design, and fashion.

My love affair with fashion blossomed in New York City, where a friend's hat sparked my inspiration to found my own hat company with my name on the label. Seeing my creations showcased in prestigious stores like Bergdorf's and Bendel's and featured in renowned publications (like WWD, Vanity Fair, Martha Stewart, etc.) was a thrilling validation. As life evolved with marriage and children, I shifted my focus briefly to children's clothing before returning to my roots in Los Angeles. Here, I've continued to create breezy separates, elegant dresses, and unique caftans for women on the go with a glamorous lifestyle, all crafted sustainably with fabrics sourced from my global travels. Everything is proudly made in LA. My brand now embodies the essence of timeless glamour, offering pieces cherished as heirlooms by generations to come.
