ABOUT US AND WHAT IS HAPPENING DURING THIS UNUSUAL TIME IN OUR LIVES

Even though our lives have been so changed by the pandemic, Loes has not stopped her amazing creativity creating new garments!

New fabric on the Casual Elegance website has not been available for awhile. However, during this time when new fabric has not been easily obtained from the long-time original source, Loes' creativy has gone into overdrive! Digging into her mostly forgotten fabric stash, she has used this fabric to design new and different garments! And she continues!

Stay on the look out! We are not sure when new fabric will be on the website. You will be notified when things change. And we will be able, also, to see photos of Loes' latest designer work!

And, her new creations will be front and center at the June Retreat!

Don't miss out! Openings are available.

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 Hinse … 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.
