Meet the Owner
Latoya Allen-Washington is not just the creative mind behind Latoya Allen—she’s a proud mother, a loving wife, and a talented teacher. While she loves designing and sewing beautiful pieces, Latoya also finds peace in farming. Tending to the earth allows her to connect with nature, and she’ll tell you there’s nothing quite like growing your vegetables—except maybe creating a perfect satin bonnet!
As a Black-owned, family-run business, Latoya embodies a labour of love. Every stitch, every design, and every product is made with the care of a family committed to quality and creativity.
And as Latoya likes to joke, "I sew so well, even my plants look handmade!"
"Don’t just dream it—create it, grow it, and live it." -Latoya Allen-Washington
