Coastal style, bright colors and high-end quality - Handmade with Love from the South.

I've lived on one of the dueling coasts of Florida since the age of 7. My childhood and school-age years were spent exploring the springs of Weeki Wachee (yes, with the mermaids!) and watching sunsets on the gulf coast. We dove for sand dollars and sea shells on the many beaches surrounding St. Petersburg. We searched for treasures of a different variety on the John's Pass Boardwalk.

Venturing away to college, I made the trek northeast to the River City of Jacksonville. How is it that one can move north into a more southern state of mind? In Jacksonville, the laid-back, flip-flop flair of Atlantic Beach meets the prep and posh of Ponte Vedra. An alligator occasionally calls my backyard home and my kids learned to swim at the age of two.

I find inspiration in the duality of my coastal experiences. From the rich oranges and fuchsia's of west coast sunsets to the subtler tones of east coast sunrises. From the bright and cheerful hues of idol Lilly Pulitzer to the sports-loving, transplanted northerners of Tampa Bay. From the Art Deco boldness of Miami Beach to the deepening blues and greens of the Suwannee River.

In 2010, it started with one tutu that this stubborn mama knew she could craft better than the mass produced junk she found in department stores. Many years later, after countless experiments large and small, I believe I offer one of the highest quality baby products in the marketplace. I believe in spending a little more time and money on my product in order to produce the results that I want (and that me customers deserve.) I spend a bit more on shipping and work with bulkier packaging to ensure that my tutus look the same coming out of the box as going in.

Each and every Tutu Cachu product is handmade, lovingly packaged, and priority shipped.
