Me IRL

Are you as surprised as I am that this is my life?  Honestly, if you knew me 10 years ago, you would assume I am teaching Spanish in a school and probably a high school softball coach.

If we were close even 5 years ago, it would be hard to imagine a path outside of the corporate HR safe space I had created.  A photo in my archive from “3 years ago today” on IG showed my corporate OOTD accessorized with a Su Yolu Turkish towel being worn as a winter scarf.   We will be selling the very last Turkish towel from that collection probably before the new year with no plans to restock!

A milestone.  A hard-earned milestone.  We loved this collection. I wish I counted how many color options we’ve had through the years.. But it’s time to retire Su Yolu and focus energy on creating new.

I am a very different person than I was in that photo working for JPMorgan.  And my experience has lead me here.  I have studied about the tradition, culture, and craftsmanship of our small business for the past 5 years and I’m thrilled to shift my focus to explore where we are taking it next.

Hi!  I’m Allie and I’m happy you’re here.

With love,

xx Allie
