Lavender Tribe Design - A Short History
Hi there! Thank you for stopping by! At Lavender Tribe Design we specialize in the creation of feminine tops and high-quality sweaters designed by Heather Paul, (that’s me!)
How It All Started ... It all began at a small-town local Farmer’s Market where Heather would sell her handmade goods and vintage finds. Heather’s clothing became so popular that each weekend she would be greeted with lines of customers driving from miles away waiting to see what one-of-a kind blouse and sweater designs she had created over the past week. With that success, eventually Heather expanded and ventured online to create her own website, www.lavendertribedesign.com and Etsy Storefront to sell her handcrafted designs.
Design Influence ... For her clothing designs, Heather takes influence from her small-town country roots focusing on feminine lace and floral tops and the highest quality luxurious sweaters. Heather still creates and ships out all orders from her clothing studio in her sweet converted barn in the country located in the rural farmlands of Eastern Washington State. Each style is modeled by Heather herself inside her small country studio staying true to her small-town humble roots. Heather’s goal is to continue to make high-quality hand-crafted US made pieces that will be treasured items in your wardrobe for years to come.
Our Team ... As her designs have grown Heather has added to her team and now employs two seamstresses in Washington State and a larger sewing production partner in California to help with sweater production during the busy holiday season.
Unfortunately with her success, Heather has dealt with the unrelenting bombardment of China based websites knocking off both her designs and stealing photos of herself then sending customers low quality chemical ridden knock-offs from China. Do not be fooled by any copy of Lavender Tribe Designs you may see online. Our designs are all original and can only be found on the Lavender Tribe Website and the official Lavender Tribe Design Etsy storefront.
As a nod to our humble beginnings Heather continues to create one-of-a-kind small batch clothing styles each week and new sweater designs each year. Follow along with her journey by favoriting the Lavender Tribe Etsy Store and find behind the scenes sneak peeks of her clothing studio in the county on Instagram.
