My Darling Emma was born out of a need to do something creative. It was a way to learn new skills in a field I knew nothing about, but have always loved. From learning how to sew, creating my own patterns, finding the best fabrics to work with and turning that into a finished product. Then finding a way to market my brand across social platforms and get the item to the customer. With a bit of luck and persistence, the brand was able to evolve into a place where you were guaranteed to find playful designs that are always handmade and sure to stand out from the crowd. With nods to vintage and whimsical elements, MDE has set the industry standard for quality and uniqueness.
