About our owners:

Frank & Lea, Gabe & Abby

We fell in love with this brand before it ever came alive.

The Book of Joel 2:28 says this: "Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your old men will dream dreams and your young men shall see visions."

We always wanted a family business, we just didn't really know what sort of business we would have.  We knew that whatever we would run, we wanted it to be used as a ministry, as a way to glorify God and point the people we could potentially encounter toward Jesus Christ.  We wanted the Lord to guide us every step of the way as we created our brand, and we wanted God to own it all.

Early in 2025, Frank awoke one night from a dream that was unquestioningly clear, a vision from the Lord, we'd say. In the dream, God showed him what sort of business he would operate for Him: one that utilized our collective lifetimes of experiences, both professional and personal as well as a view of how we would use our abilities to help our ministries grow and be fruitful in the future.  Frank took the vision and formed a retail operation that emphasized modest, respectable, and affordable apparel for women and men to use every day.  Not just your regular, Sunday-best, long-dress kind of garb, but the stuff people wear during their daily duty.  This operation will, by God's great grace, also become a catalyst, a springboard, if you will, to become a ministry tool for us and for others in order to advance the message of the Gospel of Jesus Christ . The model of this endeavor fit alongside the entrepreneurial visions our daughter, Abby, and son-in-law, Gabriel, had been receiving.

And so, this is our pledge: we will strive to bring the best collections of modest-wear to the many, to help individuals comfortably complete their daily activities without fear of judgement, to honor God without having to emphasize self, all while keeping an eye toward budget and value, as any good steward should.

We thank you for your support!
