Finding herself amidst piles of designer fabrics, unused and unloved in a downtown building, Dana called her friend Angela who loves to sew, and said, “Come see this. We can use these beautiful fabrics to make amazing pieces, and give them a new life." And so we built ENCORE by designing and sewing designer pillows, jackets, and accessories.

The materials we use are formerly loved, as-is items. They are carefully cleaned in an environmentally friendly way, then lovingly designed and sewn into unique, one of a kind finds.

We are not affiliated with the company names and trademarks of the products we source to up-use. 

Friends-turned-business-partners join forces

Two women, each bringing unique gifts, formed ENCORE in 2023 to curate designer fabrics and other textiles into up-used designer pieces that will be cherished by others. We are giving them an encore, which in French means again, something more.

Dana and Angela met in high school at Girls State, then became Kappa sisters during college. We both enjoyed decades of meaningful corporate, real estate, and non-profit work before entering into this new chapter, ready to start a business from our combined passions.

It is important to us to share 20% of our profits with our community through charitable gifts, continuing the encore, giving something more. 

Thank you for being part of it with us.
