“TATT and I started working together when I first introduced my leather handbag line. It was a challenging and exciting time for me as my business was growing and the learning curve was steep and unforgiving. They were instrumental in every way imaginable and helped me work through the many challenges that I was facing at once: production, sourcing, trend forecasting, department store relationships, showroom relationships, even shipping issues. They also encouraged me to push my boundaries as a designer and helped me understand how to round out my collections. Even today I still find myself applying principles and engaging in practices that they introduced to me and I am proud to consider them good friends.”
