About Us

We are a tiny fashion house that emits an inclination toward romance, nostalgia and a gypset-bohemian lifestyle, creating dreamy, one-of-a-kind, handcrafted pieces you’ll love to wear.

Our original clothing line is a true endeavor of love. First launched in 2013 as a fundraising project, it soon replaced the very project it was funding. We source previously owned textiles and marry them to create extraordinary, enchanting, dreamy clothing. Each garment is signed, numbered and stitched with a hidden secret pocket somewhere within, holding a charm and handwritten love note tucked inside for the wearer. They are wearable, memorable, exquisite handcrafted pieces often made of numerous layers with extensive visible hand stitching.

Our curated clothing line is inspired by the rare and unexpected; the magical qualities of ethereal materials and Nature herself. We source previously loved garments that are intrinsically beautiful, bohemian, feminine and enduring. Most items, with the exception of very delicate pieces, are hand-washed or dry cleaned. Major flaws are repaired, they are steamed or pressed, and finally wrapped beautifully for you to enjoy.

Our customers recognize and appreciate the care, craftsmanship and untold hours of personal attention and love each garment receives. We are two sisters grateful to call musicians, artists, entrepreneurs, and hopeless romantics among our treasured customers; we seriously could not have done this without all of you.

We are a Carlsbad-based socially responsible, eco-friendly company and here to bring awareness to, and reduce, the ecological footprint of the clothing we wear by reclaiming discarded textiles and extending their life, as well as inspire and mentor budding designers and entrepreneurs. 

To all our fellow sisters out there, wear what you love. Feel fabulous, in your clothes and  in your skin. Love the gorgeous being you are. Love others (so much it surprises even you), and let your Light fill everything you do, great and small. The world needs your Love and Light. You are beautiful! Thank you for supporting our art, our vision, our joy and us!  XO - True & Linda
