Our Start

In 1996, a practicing licensed real estate broker, after hitting the “highs” of the real estate profession, tried to venture in to the sales of quality ladies corporate clothing. Her name? Cora Villena.

The first years or working with a clothes manufacturing company proved that no matter where you put a good salesperson, she will excel. Cora started marketing these clothes to close friends until referrals came in. In a year’s time, Cora has established a good client base. More years of exposure with clients who know the value of quality clothing, gave her opportunity to perfect the art of satisfying and pleasing her clients. Recognitions and awards have been consistent scenarios for Cora, as she gained all these month after month, year after year, all with her own individual efforts.

In 2001, the manufacturing company closed shop, which opened the door for Cora to put up her own. Since her clients clamoured for new items, she tapped the production staff left off by the old manufacturer. Then she started choosing the fabric for each client and began designing for them. It didn’t take long before Cora decided to hire her own skilled and expert cutters and sewers to do her own designs.
