My journey with this store began many years ago, long before it ever had a name. When my daughter Ella was little, I used to sew small pieces for her at the kitchen table. Soft fabrics, simple patterns, tiny moments that felt like our own little world. As she grew older and life grew quieter, sewing became a way for me to feel close to her again.

What started as something personal slowly became something I shared with other women. Every piece I chose was selected with the same care I once put into Ella’s clothes. Not for trends, but for comfort, familiarity and the memories they might hold.

This store has always been part of my heart, and I’m grateful you’re here to share in its final chapter.

Marie & Ella has always been for women who cherish the quiet moments — the ones spent at home, the ones shared with family, the ones remembered long after they pass. Every piece we’ve offered was chosen with those moments in mind.

As we prepare to close this chapter, my hope is that the clothes you bring home will continue to hold meaning for you. Maybe they’ll be worn on a morning walk, at a family gathering, or during one of those peaceful afternoons we wish would last a little longer.

Thank you for keeping this story alive. It has meant more to me than I can ever explain.
