DAVIS ATELIER
Davis Atelier radiates romantic boldness fused with artistry. It embraces luxury details—beading, lace, corsetry, and voluminous tulle—while balancing softness with strength. Each piece feels like a statement: whether ethereal bridal, delicate vintage, or high-drama couture, the brand captures emotion and presence. It speaks to the individual who wants to be unforgettable—a dreamer, leader, and lover of timeless yet daring style. At its heart, this brand tells stories through fabric, where elegance meets fearless imagination.

M JEANNE’ APPAREL
I officially started my fashion journey in 2013. I have been working as a hairstylist for 30 years and there is nothing more rewarding than being able to make a difference in a person’s life by helping them feel good about themselves. So from there, I began to sew clothes, wanting to specialize in trendy styles for the heavy breast and plus size women, to give them the full package from head to toe. When you look good, you feel great! Your confidence level soars, allowing you to go do things you wouldn’t have dreamt of. To know that my designs played a part means the world and lets me know I made the right decision to follow my passion in fashion. Design is about self expression. You can be the quietest person in the room but what you’re wearing and how your hair is styled can speak for you. I want to be the voice that speaks for you when you wear my pieces.

SADA BALTIMORE
My name is Shanda, and I’m the founder and creative mind behind SADA BALTIMORE.
This brand wasn’t born from perfection – it was born from the real, messy, beautiful journey of growth.
I’ve stumbled through this path. I’ve made mistakes.
I’ve had moments where things didn’t go as planned.
This world of fashion is still new to me in many ways.
I didn’t grow up in it, and I wasn’t handed a map – but I wake up every day striving to learn, to grow, and to pour every piece of myself into what I create.
That’s what Adhitthăna (v) means to me – STRONG DETERMINATION. Not the absence of failure, but the courage to keep showing up – again and again.
This brand is for anyone who’s ever felt like they weren’t enough – but kept going anyway.
Sada Baltimore is built on elegance, yes – but more than that, it’s built on spirit.
Welcome to my journey.
“I AM” Sada
