5 out of 5 starsThe beautiful Tana lawn cotton custom blouse was exquisitely tailored . Ani was very clear in description of blouse and features of the design . She had expert brilliant designer sense of where darts and slits should be placed according to specific sizing and desired fit . This beautiful blouse fit me perfectly because of Ani’s very careful , knowledge and experience based skills set, and apparent talent . Best made blouse I’ve ever owned . Liberty Tana lawn cotton is exquisite fabric as well . I’m already planning next order with Ani. Everything she said ... she delivered . Delighted with results !

Beautiful is Useful - Good Clothes Serve You Better & Are More Sustainable.
'Let the Beauty We LOVE become what We Do' ~ Rumi
You may know that kaj.ani is a labor of LOVE & I hope you love wearing it as much as I love making it. (Learn more at: http://www.kajanistudio.com/) I want wearing these pieces to feel like a lovely adventure & to become part of you. I aim for every piece to feel special, to serve you well and to add beauty to your life. From the unique fabric selections to the quality of the construction, I put my heart & soul into it. I love making things people can enjoy for a long time and appreciate things that hold their value. I design all the styles, select all the materials, make all the patterns, and do all the cutting. I then work with 1 to 2 sewers, depending on the amount of work we have, who help me to complete the process of finishing every garment. A grading service is used to grade all the pattern sizes. Materials are sourced from all over.
It's my mission to cultivate continuity and to establish a rapport with customers by moving beyond fleeting trends. kaj ani collections embody polished sophistication and youthful exuberance resulting in beautiful clothes that enhance personal style. I love creating clothes that have lasting appeal. Inspired by the unique and individual beauty of women. The design process begins first by fabric inspiration and by asking what intelligent, creative women will enjoy wearing. Unique, lux, beautiful, fabrics are used to create modern, feminine silhouettes that are smart, sexy and look easily pulled together. I love the craft, the intimacy and the connection with people wearing what we have created. There's a desire to live in a world where things are not so easily tossed away. I endeavor to promote conscious commerce. Designing has been a lifelong passion. My love of making beautiful, uselful things, has been an evolutionary process since childhood and continues to evolve. From making clothes for dolls, then for friends, then for women at large. We all need beauty in our life. Beautiful is useful*
