I have always been drawn to textiles. Sometimes it is the color that catches my attention. Sometimes it’s the pattern or an unexpected detail that draws me in. But always, the touch of the fabric. Always the fabric. And sometimes, before I can quite explain why, I simply know a piece is coming home with me.
Over the years, that instinct has shaped both my work and my collections. I have designed scarves, gathered vintage pieces, and kept things because their beauty deserved another chapter.
Wrapped Stories brings those threads together. If you have known me through Cashmere Wrappings, welcome back. If we are meeting for the first time, I am so pleased you are here.
Where I’ve Been
Twenty-five years at Nordstrom gave me the opportunity to spend my days around fashion, beautiful merchandise, and the people who made it their own. I came to appreciate how personal getting dressed can be: a particular color that brightens someone’s face, a fabric they instinctively reach for, an unexpected accessory that makes an outfit feel like theirs.
That appreciation became part of Cashmere Wrappings, the business I have nurtured for more than two decades. Through my designs, I explored the things that have long held my attention—vintage prints, architectural details, gardens, travel, and the endless possibilities of color and pattern.
A design could begin with something as modest as an old serving tray or as elaborate as an ornamental iron gate. The pleasure was in seeing what it might become when translated onto fabric, then watching that fabric move when someone wrapped it around their shoulders.
Alongside that work, I continued collecting.
The Pieces I Kept
Vintage scarves have a particular hold on me. Within a small square of silk, there can be an entire world: a city remembered, a garden imagined, a beautifully drawn border, or a color combination I would never have thought to put together.
Some pieces bear familiar designer names. Others have no label at all. My interest has always extended beyond the signature to the piece itself. Is the print compelling? Does the fabric feel beautiful? Is there something about it that makes me want to look again?
Over time, those discoveries became a collection with its own character. Now, I have the pleasure of sharing them—and helping them find someone who sees what I saw.
From Cashmere Wrappings to Wrapped Stories
As I brought my original designs and collected pieces together, I wanted a name that could hold the full story.
Cashmere Wrappings remains an important part of that history. Wrapped Stories makes room for everything that has grown around it: silk and wool, vintage discoveries, personal favorites, and the connections between them.
The collection unfolds in three parts:
Created holds my original designs, often inspired by something old and reimagined through my own eye.
Collected brings together vintage pieces gathered over the years, chosen for their design, materials, and character.
Curated is where I share special pieces that hold personal meaning or have earned their place through a distinctive detail.
Together, they reflect a lifetime of paying attention to the things I love.
Coming Full Circle
There is something satisfying about seeing these pieces side by side. The vintage textiles that inspired my eye now sit alongside the designs that grew from it. What I have created and what I have collected belong in the same conversation.
My hope is that you will find something here that becomes part of your everyday life. Perhaps it will be a generous
