Designer Leslie Smith Leave Beautiful Steps Behind
Studio or By Appointment, Call/DM M/F All FOLX🌈

I have enjoyed a career in the fashion industry spanning over 30 years, as a designer, buyer, and product developer in ladies wear. I started my career in manufacturing in the design room & have always had a love for well fitting, well-constructed garments made from high quality fabrications. Recently, I am focusing on churning out my own designs - garments & handmade accessories, from bygone materials, found & forgotten fabrics, and upcycled pieces - come by and see the growing collection!

Watch for new items … coming soon

As we finish the first week of the new year, I’m looking to pivot slightly as I move into 2026—focusing on thoughtful growth while continuing to design and create pieces using rescued and forgotten textiles.
