Your Bag is empty
I’m Seema Sudan, and I left Philadelphia in 2008 to start my own knitwear collection in my husband’s hometown of New Orleans. Yes, knitwear in hot, humid New Orleans. (Funny enough, I find people wear sweaters more down here than in Philly.) My designs are deeply rooted in traditions of community and craftsmanship. I believe knitting should be local, and sweaters should last for generations. I named LiaMolly after our kids, Liam and Molly, because I like to think of each sweater being passed down to the younger generation – to become tomorrow’s heirlooms.
Kickstarter was a success! Looks like we’ll be getting a knitting machine. So, will New Orleans be the knitwear capital of the world? It could happen. And you’re in on the ground floor. I’ll keep you posted. This Kickstarter experience has shown me that anything is possible when you go with your passions and share them with the world. Many thanks again to my Kickstarter donors for enthusiastically supporting us on this grand adventure. We’ll soon be hiring and training locals in the startup of a new industry in New Orleans, one that I hope our colorful city will someday be known for: knitwear! Oh, and Kickstarter friends: I’ll soon be sending out all your sweaters, design sketches, and other rewards….
