Meet Owner and Designer, Victoria Gates
Victoria is a former Apparel and Textiles High School Teacher with a passion for timeless style. quality craftsmanship, and heirloom sewing. After years of teaching Family and Consumer Sciences (formerly Home Economics), her son was born and she shifted her focus to career counseling.
Missing the opportunity to create, and feeling burnt out from public education she decided to follow her childhood dream: designing a line of classic, traditional children's clothing.
Inspired by her love for comfort and longevity, Victoria designs pieces made from the finest fabrics, ensuring that each garment is not only stylish but built to last for years. She is deeply committed to making sure her clothing is created in a socially responsible environment, prioritizing ethical practices every step of the way. Her designs reflect a commitment to simplicity, elegance, lasting quality, and a responsible approach to fashion.
Victoria lives in North Carolina with her husband, two children, and their energetic German Shorthair Pointer. When she’s not designing or running her business, she enjoys spending time with her family outdoors, exploring the beauty of the Carolina landscape, specifically the beach, and spending time in her sewing room. Whether it's walking into town on Saturday to grab a vanilla latte and scone, playing in the yard, or simply relaxing at home, her family is the heart of everything she does. The values of love, tradition, and quality that she holds dear in her personal life are reflected in her work and her approach to design.
