After an extensive journey across the nation in search of the perfect place to call home, we found Franklin to be an unparalleled gem among small towns. Our resident Master Tailor, Jacqueline, brings over 15 years of sewing expertise honed in cities like Washington, D.C., Charleston, SC, and Atlanta, GA. She holds dual degrees from Brenau University—a BFA in Fashion Design and an MBA with a focus on Marketing. During her undergraduate years, she interned at the Smithsonian Institute, specializing in textile restorations. From simple fixes to bespoke garments, Jacqueline's skills know no bounds. Plus, her love for dogs is as boundless as her talent! You can even come say hi to Lacey, our adorable shop dog! Nicholas, our multi-talented colleague, embarked on a creative journey starting at the Art Institute, where he delved into audio engineering and photography. His career led him through audio studios in Philadelphia, West Palm Beach, and Atlanta before he transitioned into a renowned landscape photographer. With a portfolio spanning from the vibrant street art scenes of Philadelphia, Miami, and Atlanta to the serene landscapes of beaches and mountains nationwide, Nicholas captures the essence of beauty wherever he goes. And just like Jacqueline, Nicholas's affection for dogs knows no bounds! We invite you to drop by and say hello! Whether you're from the heart of Western NC or beyond, we're here to meet and assist you with all your fashion and creative needs.
