Made with love in Minnesota

Each garment is constructed using one of a kind vintage and antique textiles. Featuring hand embroidered linens, special crochet and lace pieces, homespun fabric, hand sewn appliqués, and more. A great amount of time goes into carefully sourcing, cleaning, and mending each textile before being used in a design. Some pieces are very old and contain blemishes but it’s often these little hints of life that help create a uniqueness to each design.

Sustainability

Tess’s designs are sustainably made with the Earth in mind. By using vintage and recycled textiles we do not contribute to the enormous waste that already exists in the fashion industry. The buttons and thread are all vintage or organically sourced, the fabric scraps are saved to be used in other ways and the
packaging is also compostable.
