Welcome to Red Maiden Atelier, a haven where tradition and luxury intertwine with every stitch. My story is woven from memories of my Nonna's exquisite knit creations, especially the beautiful baby dresses and cozy sweaters she crafted with love for our family. My designing dreams started when I was around 6 years old, rolling up yarn balls out of what seems like millions of yards of yarn, to crochet chains the length of the house while watching old VHS tapes on my living room floor in downtown New Haven. One cherished Sunday dinner, I asked her to share her knitting secrets. With a warm smile, she entrusted me with her collection of knitting needles and gently guided me through the techniques in her charming, broken Sicilian English.

Captivated by her artistry — her gift for transforming simple strands of yarn into timeless heirlooms and her skill as a seamstress crafting garments imbued with care — I immersed myself in the craft between our cherished Sunday gatherings. Today, Red Maiden Atelier honors this rich legacy, handcrafting luxurious garments that seamlessly blend the warmth of tradition with vintage-inspired elegance, designed to be treasured for generations.

A passionate designer fueled by yarn, spiced apple chai & the love of intricate crown-moulding.
