Meet Alisa and Fumi creators of Davie and Chiyo
The Team:
ALISA STEPHENSON | Event Coordinator, Sales, Marketing & Customer Service Specialist
This cross-Pacific kid grew up in Tokyo and Vancouver, with the linguistic skills to boot. She gets through her day on a strict diet of coffee, travel daydreams and plaid, and cannot survive without a calendar. Her most prized possessions, in order: 1) her little boy 2) her Mac 3) her plaid shirt collection.
FUMI BULL | Designer, Photographer, Website Manager, Customer Service Specialist (& everything else in between)
Superhero multi-tasker with a passion for culinary experimentation (cooking) and fiction. When she's not split a million ways between answering emails, yoga, fabric shopping, Pinterest, reviving (other people's) dead plants and running errands, you can find her in deep intellectual conversation with her cat (so she claims).
Then & Now:
Davie & Chiyo emerged in 2008 as a pet project for Vancouver sister duo, Fumi and Himi Bull. One a recent business school graduate and the other a stay‐at‐home mom, they both had a passion for all things handmade. They started small with a giftshop on Etsy selling handmade pouches and purses, and before they knew it were specializing in custom, one-of-a-kind clutches for every member of the bridal party. “We had never really planned on working in the bridal market - it found us.”
Fast-forward five years and what was once a one sewing machine operation has grown into a multi-machine studio, with two more team members under its belt. Davie & Chiyo's ultra-femme line boasts lush bows, decadent silks, airy chiffons, ruffles, lace, and workmanship so refined it sets your heart aflutter. Their passion for evening and bridal designs has expanded beyond luxury clutches to include a line of head-to-toe accessories with a worldwide following. When asked about what's next for the bridal label, "We dream big, so the sky's the limit."
How amazing are these clutches? Even if your not planning a wedding they would be amazing for a night on the town! The Bow Clutch is one of my favorite bags I've ever seen!!

ReplyDeleteEntered raffle as Ann H. I've known about this brand for a couple of years now and I especially love the vintage silk kimono clutches since there aren't many made for obvious reasons and the fabrics are beautiful.
