Designed in Rhode Island. Made in NYC. Worn with confidence everywhere.
THE DESIGNER

Eye-Catching Designs with a Distinct Urban Attitude
Amy defies convention, pushing the boundaries of style with her bold, artistic vision. Her exuberant personality and edgy perspective fuel eye-catching designs that exude a distinct urban attitude. By masterfully mixing patterns, fabrics, colors, and textures, she creates pieces that spark conversation, evoke excitement, and, most importantly, instill confidence.

She has won Rhode Island Monthly's Best Fashion Designer the past six years, has appeared in many prominent publications, such as Elle and Forbes, and two of her pieces were featured in the Worcester Art Museum’s summer 2021 exhibition The Iconic Jersey: Baseball x Fashion.
An Ethical Brand Inspired by Intuition
Amy’s intuition fuels her creativity - she designs from instinct, not trends. Uninfluenced by fleeting fads or the expectations of others, she stays true to her vision, crafting ethically made, outside-the-box pieces that reflect her bold artistic spirit.
For Amy, fashion is more than design - it’s about connection. She finds inspiration in how her customers feel wearing her garments - confident, empowered, and seen. Every piece she creates is a reflection of that relationship, brought to life through a sustainable and thoughtful approach to design and production.
Her inspiration is her intuition. She designs what she likes and doesn't get wrapped up in the trends and what everyone else is doing. Amy does her own thing and has a passion to create ethically made pieces outside the box. She loves feeling connected to her customers through how they feel in her garments while maintaining a sustainable approach to her design and production process.
Our Eco-Friendly Practices
Ethical Production: Designed in Rhode Island and crafted in New York City or our Rhode Island studio, every piece is made by workers who are fairly paid in safe conditions. Local manufacturing reduces the carbon footprint and ensures quality in every stitch.
Sustainable Materials: We strive to only use organic cotton, recycled polyester, and recycled packaging when possible. Each fabric is handpicked by Amy to ensure longevity, reducing overconsumption.
Small-Batch Production: By creating small batches or offering pre-orders, we avoid overproduction. Leftover materials are upcycled into products like No-Waste Scrunchies and Totes.
Local Manufacturing: Supporting local businesses, we minimize emissions while boosting local economies and building strong community ties.
Transparency: We share details about materials, processes, and sustainability efforts to empower customers to make informed and eco-friendly choices.
