I have been selling in the local area (Portland, Or and Vancouver, Wa) for many years and pride myself on the items I make.

I know how important it is for quality craftman/womanship and longevity. Each item I make from start to finish.

Local and handmade is quality made.

When you wake up in the morning and decide on what to wear, you are partaking in your own personal ‘fashion’. Fashion becomes you, celebrates you and tells the world who you are. That is why I became a fashion designer and have created Belladonna Marie, celebrating style, sustainability and sophistication.

From a young age, I believe I was a natural where fashion was concerned. Thanks to my inherited sense of style and incredibly, artistic mother, I understood design and how to put a great ‘look’ together.

My first dabble into the world of fashion was evening gowns. I ended up designing most of my gowns worn in high school and on through college.

What does it take to be a great fashion designer? Skill, vision and incredible insight. I believe I have skill in design, as well as indisputable vision, but most importantly my travels across the world have allowed me to see through the eyes of many.

How many people have climbed the Wall of China, went black water rafting in New Zealand, watched national dance awards at the Sydney Opera house and shopped under the bright lights of Tokyo, in one year? It is through these experiences, and more, that helped shape me as a person and designer.

Belladonna Marie (BM) reminds women to look and feel stylish and sophisticated again. BM brings flirty, femininity and classic structure together, through flattering, perfect–fit garments. It is, after all, all about looking beautiful.
