From a quiet tailor shop to a brand built on self-expression

As a child, I spent hours sitting by the window of my grandmother’s tiny tailor shop, watching her work in silence. Her hands moved gracefully, sewing each line with care and pride. The shop wasn’t big or fancy, just a small place on the corner where fabric swayed gently in the doorway and neighbors came by with warm smiles and simple requests.

I remember her saying once, “Real style doesn’t come from expensive things. It comes from wearing something that feels like you.” Those words stayed with me, even as I grew up and the world changed around me.

Years later, while working in the fashion industry, I realized how often we’re told to follow trends instead of following ourselves. Everything felt rushed, uniform, and disconnected. That’s when the idea for Lomita took root.

Lomita was born from a longing for something more personal. We make fashion accessories that carry meaningful pieces that aren’t just stylish, but honest. A simple scarf can remind you of a cherished summer. A little clip in your hair can feel like a reward after a long day. That’s the kind of beauty we want to create.
