Why I Took a Break from Ready-to-Wear Collections

As a designer, one of the most fulfilling aspects of my work is seeing my creations come to life and in the hands of those who truly appreciate them. However, the journey to that moment isn’t always smooth. It’s filled with highs and lows, lessons, and unexpected challenges. That’s why I decided to take a step back from creating new ready-to-wear (RTW) collections, and I wanted to share my experience with you.

It’s ok to take a break

At the end of 2018 I launched an oversized clutch collection. It started with a bang and ended with a fizzle a short while later. I just had too many things on my plate at the time that after my launch, I was unable to follow up with new styles. At least not until the end of 2019. A colleague and I decided to host a popup event. At the time it was a good idea… or so I thought.
