The owner, Sarah Van Aken, got her start in the fashion industry sourcing and producing garments for major fashion retailers.  After navigating the challenges of launching her own apparel lines, she wanted to offer her expertise and services to other emerging designers, businesses, and entertainment personalities that wanted to launch their own apparel lines.
