We are two friends who also happen to be two artists as
well as two moms with kids and dogs and lives sometimes
too crazy to even begin to describe. After years of designing
theatre sets and costumes for school plays, whipping up
prom dresses for daughters the night before, and dappling
in all areas of home design, we decided to bring our ideas
to market.
The
concept for Retro Wraps® is simple but satisfied
our desire to have our own decorative beverage holders
rather than using cast-offs from our husbands. The Wrap-a-Latte® collection
was requested by our teenagers, all part of the Starbucks
generation.
We love finding new ways to put a touch of whimsy on ordinary
objects surrounding us. We love original expression. And
yes, we both have fabric fetishes and love searching for
unique, vintage, and inspiring textiles. We hope you have
as much fun using our products as we do in creating them.
We
also want to give kudos to our mothers, Edna Williams
Hodges and the late Barbara Ludwig, whose loving hands
taught us to sew at early ages –a skill and art we
find ourselves coming back to when college degrees and
boardroom experience didn’t quite satisfy our creative
compulsions.
