I’m Acacia.

Yes, I’m the one behind the sketchbooks, the scissors, the hundred tiny decisions that no one sees but that make everything fit just right. I build things from cloth and want. I don’t just sew. I conjure.

For me, beauty isn’t dainty. It’s a garment that knows exactly what it is — form meeting function with no excess, no apology. Something made with clarity, integrity, and purpose. Something that knows its job and does it like a holy vow. That’s real elegance. That’s my kind of magic.

Every piece I make is an argument for thoughtful design — not sterile, not safe — but sharp, smart, and just a little dangerous. There’s sophistication in symmetry, yes, but I also like imbalance when it teaches you how to move. I want the clothes I make to feel like spells: intentional, alive, and slightly possessed.

And while I rule my studio like a goblin queen — alone, territorial, meticulous — I don’t want to work in a vacuum. I want to build a living network of feral artisans and soft revolutionaries. People who believe sustainability isn’t a trend but a return to sanity. People who understand that fast fashion is a curse, and we’re the ones unpicking it — seam by seam.

This isn’t about guilt. It’s about power. Power reclaimed, redistributed, and worn like armor.

So yes. I make beautiful things. But more than that — I’m building a world. And if you’ve ever wanted to make your own rules, hold the needle, and wear something that feels like it remembers you — you’re welcome here.

At the helm is Acacia — designer, embroiderer, and soft-handed tyrant of this studio. She studied at Parsons Paris on scholarship, which sounds very official (and it was), though she left on sabbatical to do what many good girls eventually must: start something wild. During her time in France, she also trained briefly with École Lesage, where she fell harder for embroidery than was socially acceptable.

Her work lives somewhere between mythology and method — where couture technique meets storybook mischief. She is obsessed with textiles, reverent toward thread, and deeply suspicious of anything that claims to be "timeless" without earning it.

Acacia currently identifies as a local cryptid, a benevolent menace (except when she isn’t), and the sort of person who will politely offer you tea while drafting a silhouette sharp enough to draw blood.
