About the brand
“After working in the family business for 20 years, I decided to make a career switch and follow my passion and love for creating and designing fashion.”(E.M.)
After studying tourism, Esmee worked for several years in a hotel and at a business event organization agency. Later she joined the family business. At that time a high-end Italian furniture store and later a company for special chairs for people with physical disabilities.
For more than 20 years, Esmee was responsible for internal communication, organization and human resources.
Around 2016, Esmee started knitting scarves. These scarves did not go unnoticed. As a result, 2 high end boutiques started selling her scarves. After 2 years of knitting, Esmee decided to take it to the next level. She stopped knitting and decided to start her own brand. She traveled all over the Netherlands. Looking for materials, suppliers and ateliers to work with.
Esmee loves to travel, enjoys good food and drinks and likes to be surrounded by her family, friends and relatives.
In her atelier and office she works full time creating new collections, organizing small events or working on collaborations with other parties, such as for example; Sisley Paris, Wolterinck Laren, ByJacky House of Jewellery and Van Loon Galleries in Vught.
