SASS Boutique
Our sewing and design studio above our retail store in Summerland makes us unique. The focus is on using natural fabrics when designing and making dresses, tops, jackets and unique pieces for our stores. Our clothing lines are curated to make the shopping experiences unique. Our knowledgeable, well trained staff enjoy helping customers find pieces that will work back to their wardrobes.
I studied woven and knitted textile design in England and UBC. After teaching and completing an MA from UBC I decided to start a clothing business, following in my grandfather's footsteps. I've always enjoyed working with the public, engaging in ideas and marketing. My children were young so the company started small - mostly printing one off pieces. Over the years I've expanded my retail space, purchased unique items for sale along with making our in house designs.
