A new look at a new way to get new clothes…

A creation from Pin Pin Apparel: Draped pencil skirt (cotton/poly blend, fully lined, hidden back zip) with Harajuku leggings, French cuff cotton shirt, crushed silk tank top.

It’s been fun to watch Leah Altman (FHHS ’07) over the past 2-3 years – whenever you run into her, she might be wearing something she just designed & then sewed herself…and it always looks good.

Leah, with friend...

Combining her sewing & designing skill with a good business plan, a never-quit, relentless positive energy (have you ever seen her NOT smiling? Even when a Thai elephant has her with his trunk?), and friends both here and in Thailand, she has opened her business to sell her specially designed, handmade clothes.

Each piece is designed by her and made by hand…you can get a pretty good idea what she & her Thai/American team have produced, and what they can do for you. Her company is called Pin Pin Apparel, and you can see her work on her Facebook site here.

Check it out & I think you’ll be impressed! Way to go, Leah!

Another creation from Pin Pin: Chiffon ruffles skirt (black skirt with three overlapping chiffon ruffles; polyester; bright gold back zip; unlined; available in cobalt/white {shown} and floral/multi) with grey lace waist belt
