leather, buckles, studs, zippers, lining, screen printing, when something fits like a glove, collaborating, being inspired, inspiring someone else, tigers eyes, antique buttons, sitting with coffee and designing in the morning, sitting with wine and designing at night, S&G Clothing, and of course sequoia and gita, new ideas, working on them with amazing sewers.
Mended Mosaic is a romantic partnership of KC Van de Merkt and Louie Mendicino. Together they travel the world for inspiration from architecture, people, and landscapes. They take special care to pick up features that adorn each piece with unique flare. They use influences from old spain, the romance of the 1920's, the edge of industrial machinery, western saloons and formality of the distinguished victorian era. They passionately carry a delicate balance for everyday life and for the specialty of one amazing piece.
