Our story
Handcrafted Vintage Lace Socks & Bridal Accessories Since 1991
It Started With A Feeling.
Not just any feeling—but the kind of electric creative spark that happens when you create something so unique, it makes women stop on the street to ask, "Where did you find those?"
I’m Catherine, and since 1991, I have been meticulously handcrafting premium, vintage-inspired lace socks, romantic bridal accessories, and cozy knit staples from my small-batch studio in North Carolina. What began as a personal passion project has evolved into a beloved national lifestyle brand, trusted by women everywhere who want to define their own signature style.
