About us

Brand 1837 is a Womenswear clothing brand that captures the vibrant spirit within, embracing strength, uniqueness and creative energy each and every woman exemplify. The concept of being a fashion designer began at 6 using my fashion plates, and wrapping fabric around my body to make dresses and hand sewing the best I could.  I received my first sewing machine when I was 10, and that was that.  Obtaining a degree in Textile and Apparel Studies and Marketing from Western Michigan University, a year at the American Intercontinental University in London, England, a Master’s in Business Management from Walsh College(I don’t know if this is relevant, and sounds like a resume), and a detour in automotive, Brand 1837 represents coming full circle. 

Michigan has been home since 1978, even when I lived elsewhere.  It was important to pay homage to my home, my roots, when developing Brand 1837.  I am reminded of home every day with the inception of Brand 1837, connecting to my roots as Michigan became a state in 1837. 

We create ready-to-wear, custom and theatrical clothing for women.
