"I make my clothes with love."

— Denise Ruth Capers

The Designer

Over 40 years of craft. One designer. Every piece a singular work of art.

Denise Ruth Capers has been designing wearable art since 1984. Featured in the Charlotte Observer, Today's Charlotte Woman, and recognized by WSOC-TV as one of their Nine Who Care — her work speaks before she does. She came out of retirement because Charlotte asked her to. Every jacket is hand-crafted, one of a kind, and made with love. When it is gone, it is gone.
