Loes’ Clothing LIne

Softly tailored designs offer sophisticated, easy to wear garments exclusively designed by Loes and available in her store/studio in Carmel, CA.

Fabric, chosen by Loes, is designed to fall into the same categories as her clothing line and are a perfect match for her patterns.

ABOUT LOES … Designer

Loes’ European training and philosophy – simplicity, comfort, and style are reflected in every garment design. Starting with a vision, a new design weaves its way into the creation of a new garment for her clothing line often finding its way into pattern production. The result is always consistent with her sense of color and style.

Her core garments set the stage using a basic, interesting, neutral color fabric. Interest, color, and individuality are added with accessories – scarf, jewelry, or shoes. Comfort is a basic component. ALWAYS reflecting her European flair incorporating simplicity, sophistication, and comfort, this is Loes’ way of being and her way of dressing.

ABOUT CASUAL ELEGANCE … Sharon Lyon, Owner

Casual Elegance offers great fabrics chosen by Loes. The coordinating fabrics - knits and woven are intended to duplicate Loes’ clothing line. At times, an exact duplication is not feasible, but an alternative is available. Loes and Sharon work together to provide fabrics for you to create wonderful garments reflecting your personality and sense of confidence and pride.
