Crafted by hand, finished with precision

Each piece is cut, sewn, and finished by hand. Thoughtful proportions, natural fibers, and precise construction are the hallmarks of Heartfelt Studio by Lou — made to feel like a favorite, worn again and again.

A garment that fits your body and your life is more likely to be kept, cared for, and worn often. That is the sustainability goal behind the process, and the reason every custom decision is made with real wear in mind.

About

A small studio dedicated to craft

Hi, I'm Lou. My work is inspired by warmth, closeness, and the freedom to be yourself — the feeling of a partner’s hug, a morning coffee in bed, the calm of the sea and the energy of the city.

I’m a self-taught sewist making small-batch pieces after work hours. I focus on clean lines, durable seams, and hand-finished details. Fabrics are chosen for comfort and longevity, then pre-washed before cutting so your piece keeps its shape over time. The goal is simple: pieces you want to wear often, care for, and keep.

For me, sustainability also means emotional durability: clothing that fits beautifully, feels easy to wear, and carries a personal story becomes the piece you reach for again and again.
