About

Our founder, Monique Diaz Evancic, had the good fortune of growing up with her independent and young-at-heart great-grandmother (her abuela) who was a successful seamstress in Cuba. She was a widowed mother of three and ran a lucrative business designing and sewing clothing for women. Monique spent her summers with her abuela who taught her to sew on an antique black Singer sewing machine. 

Monique, like many women, experiences a delightful surprise whenever she finds that rare garment that has functional pockets. She believes that women have been deprived of pockets for way too long and now Monique is on a mission to right that wrong by making pockets standard in women's clothing.
