About Sumie Tachibana

Where Modern Elegance Meets Dark Edge I craft darkly sophisticated clothing and accessories, to bridge the gap between fleeting trends and timeless dark luxury, by creating elevated, wearable pieces that stand apart, so you can confidently express your unique style. Each piece is designed, cut, and sewn by me in my home studio in Richmond, Texas. I work with high-end deadstock fabrics, often sourced from Italy and France through suppliers in Los Angeles and New York. No factories. No mass production. Just one designer, one studio, and one piece at a time. Everything is made in small quantities with a focus on quality, longevity, and reducing waste. Whenever possible, I design adjustable or size-flexible pieces, and I repurpose leftover fabrics into small, functional items. Most Notable Publications include: Vogue Italia, WWD, Vestal Magazine, New York Magazine, Time Out New York, and ABC Local News New York. Read their story
