That’s the thing with handmade items. They still have the person’s mark on them, and when you hold them, you feel less alone.

My Story

Candy & Bagel started with knitwear designs and slowly evolved into a wider range of handmade garments and accessories, as my love for handmade fashion grew.

I started designing knitwear and sewing my own clothes because I loved the idea behind handmade clothing and accessories. I hated everything about the "fast fashion" climate and wanted to share my love for things thoughtfully created with consciously chosen materials to promote POC entrepreneurs and people who share similar beliefs about the environment and women’s body.
