Sometimes, life takes you on unexpected detours before you find your way back to where you’re meant to be. For me, that detour lasted 24 years.

Even though I went to college for fashion and marketing, I spent over two decades in industries and relationships that pushed me toward a more "practical" path. I eventually found myself divorced, stepping away from a finance career, and running a pet-sitting business for ten years.

Then came the moment of clarity: being dragged down the street by a 130-pound Rottweiler (not the adorable pup in the picture). It was in that moment I thought, something has to change.

That’s when I decided to fully embrace my passion for fashion and sustainability. I dove deep into learning everything about fabric production, sustainable materials, and eco-conscious manufacturing. I researched, I asked questions, and I surrounded myself with experts.

My journey wasn’t just about creating a clothing line; it was about living a sustainable lifestyle, something I had practiced for decades. And that’s how POPPIN Loom was born—a brand built on purpose and passion.

At POPPIN Loom, I’m redefining sustainable fashion by blending eco-consciousness with artistic flair. My collection features 100% GOTS certified organic Pima cotton tees, baby onesies, and dog tank tops that aren’t just good for the planet—they’re a canvas for self-expression. Every piece tells a story, not only about comfort and style but also about sustainability.

But I didn’t stop there. I wanted to push the boundaries of what sustainable fashion could be. That’s why my tote bags and accessories are crafted from innovative materials like pineapple fibers and grape skins. These incredible fabrics reduce waste while creating stylish, durable products that stand out from the crowd.

What started as Soultree Apparel had to take an unexpected turn when faced with a trademark challenge. But in the end, it was a blessing in disguise. A celebration with friends, champagne in hand, gave birth to the name POPPIN Loom—the perfect combination of 'poppin' energy and a nod to the weaving process. It marked a fresh, exciting chapter in my fashion journey.

THEN...

I had an unexpected opportunity to attend fashion school. This time, it was different—I wasn’t just learning; I was reconnecting with my passion. In school, I learned to sew, design collections, and create outfits from scratch. I even had the chance to be part of a fashion show and model in it! Fashion school wasn’t just about gaining technical skills; it was about reigniting my creative fire and reminding me that this is where I truly belong.

For me, this business is more than a brand; it’s the realization of a dream that was delayed but never forgotten. POPPIN Loom is a testament to my lifelong passion for fashion, my dedication to sustainability, and the belief that style doesn’t have to compromise the planet. From the softest organic cotton tees to eco-friendly totes, every piece in my collection is crafted with care for both you and the environment.

So, that’s my story. A story of finding my true calling after 30 years, and of weaving together sustainability, style, and a lifetime of aspirations. What’s your story?
