History

Established in 2003.

Cayenne Couture Atelier was created to give the world garments that fit in 2003. Hundreds of garments later with three years of getting untrained help CCA Fashion Sewing and Design was born. At Cayenne Couture Atelier «Fashion Sewing and Design», The art of sewing was passed down from mother to daughter from generation to generation. Now, things are different. With the availability of affordable and well-​designed clothing reduced the need for home sewing and with it, the overall understanding of this once-​necessary skill. But now, people from all walks of life see sewing as an opportunity to move beyond the cookie-​cutter approach to fashion, and express their own personal style and their creativity in the clothes they wear everyday.

In 2006 we took our first student in the dining room of my home. In just one year the business out grew the dining room in to the family room in the basement to now almost seven years later a beautiful studio in the Bridgeport Art Center.
