Daisy Mae


Daisy Mae is Mary Rose's daughter company (it's Kate's!). Daisy Mae makes one-of-a-kind bags and other special accessories for your every day life. Each item is carefully handcrafted to be a unique representation of skill and love. In addition to her new items, the Clear the Trace line specializes in breathing new life into recycled clothes and textiles through screen-printing and reconstruction. Some things are just too beautiful to throw away, and even if they aren't, our forest, prairies, lakes, and hillsides are certainly too beautiful to clutter with abandoned items. That's why she started Daisy Mae's "Clear the Trace" collection. She is part of an exciting renewed "quilt mentality". Traditionally quilts have been pieced together out of scrap fabric or flour sacks. This quilt mentality can be used with countless resources. Like rearranging several broken strands of vintage beads into a one-of-a-kind necklace. Or screen printing tired shirts with fresh designs. Or saving high quality fabric samples from landfills to create bags of all shapes and sizes. Look for "Clear the Trace" tags for ecologically minded goods.

Of course, Daisy Mae also makes accessories out of new materials. Each thing is a unique and individual creation. I rest my insecure perfectionist soul knowing that my customers realize that everything is handmade, and that there is not another one exactly like it. Look for "Daisy Mae" tags for these items.
