About
Hi! My name is Cornelia and I'm the creator of Eloora handmade.
I've always had a passion for clothing ever since I was a little girl, and I have for as long as I can remember had an idea of starting my own clothing brand. I was so tired of clothes that didn't last more than 2 washes and that never was exactly the way I wanted. Some years ago I had a thought of creating my own clothing because I felt I never found what I wanted in the stores, so I borrowed my moms sewing machine and I instantly fell in love. It felt so magical to be able to sew my own clothing with the size and style I wanted! Also to make clothes that's not filled with toxic chemicals and that falls apart after a few uses!
After a while I got my own sewing machine from my mom and since then I have sewed almost every day. I had no idea what I was doing 95% of the time haha, but I googled and watched youtube for hours every day to figure out different techniques. I sat on the floor trying to learn how to make my own patterns. I sewed, undid it, sewed again and so on. It was HARD but I loved it. The feeling when you make something you really love is the best feeling ever!!
At this time only my mom and husband knew about what I was doing. I needed to do this by myself and become more confident that this was more than just a hobby, it was something I was prepared to do anything for to finally take the huge step and open my own shop. And so I did!
Eloora is my dream and passion, and it makes me so happy and thankful you are here supporting my small business, and choosing a better way in the fashion industry!
With love, Cornelia
