In the midst of a challenging season, I received an email and voicemail that changed everything: a request to create custom wool coats for the Vance children to wear at the Inauguration. This commission was more than just an exciting opportunity—it was a reminder that hope never disappoints. From the perfect fit and timeless craftsmanship to the personal touches that told a story, this project was a celebration of heritage, elegance, and the joy of creating something truly special. Join me as I share the journey of designing these bespoke coats, from the tailored details to the meaningful elements that made each piece unique, including a special embroidery by my mother and buttons that paid homage to Notre Dame.

At Anagrassia, every piece we create tells a story. One of our recent projects was a custom navy cape made for a client using a beautiful tartan fabric he designed for his church. The lightweight tartan was perfect for lining the cape, which we crafted with a hood and a reversible design for added versatility. A cognac brown Italian leather toggle completed the piece, adding a touch of luxury and practicality. Designed for both the client and his daughters, this cape combines tradition, personal significance, and timeless style—something we’re proud to have created in our South Bend atelier.
What will the world look like in 20 or 30 years? Will people continue to wear disposable clothing? (The average life span of a garment is 3 years.) Will fast fashion companies exist? Will the fashion industry continue to be the #2 polluter in the world?
These are the questions being asked in the fashion industry right now. Not only are fashion companies wasting millions of pounds of unsold garments each year, it is polluting the world and exploiting labor to create the textiles and garments.
