The seed for SweetLeigh started growing in 2001 while making handmade gifts for friends and family of original design from thrifted and vintage goods. My approach to making clothes and accessories is people first. My greatest inspiration to start with comes from the muse. If not my customer, I am inspired by icons and artists like Eartha Kitt and Frida Kahlo.

I am also inspired by the amazing textiles and one of a kind materials you can find in vintage goods. The fact that they help to reduce my carbon footprint and in turn yours makes it even better. I supplement the use of gently used and vintage materials with the use of recycled materials wherever possible.

By 2010 it became clear that SweetLeigh was calling to me and I had to make my little shop a reality. Here we are. SweetLeigh is dedicated to serving customers with a shared love and desire for unique and original handmade fashions while contributing to a sustainable future, and who claim their inevitable right to a little bit of glamour.
