While sipping my morning coffee earlier, I decided to look through some photos that go way back! When I launched Simple Pleasures decades ago, there were some categories that were especially successful……one was camisoles that could be worn as sleepwear but also for daywear alone or under a jacket or sweater.

Fashion history continues to be an ongoing passion of mine. I am always fascinated by the amazing hand-sewn detail present in the specimens that I study.

The proof of quality is in the details....hand stitching, venise laces, French seams, and exquisite fabrics. I am constantly studying the work of skilled artisans to improve my own skills in bringing life and longevity to the pieces I produce.
