Our Story
128 Coterie is a fashion house rooted in intention — a brand born from the belief that elegance, individuality, and culture can live in the same silhouette. We design for the ones who know that style isn’t about noise — it’s about presence.
Founded on the idea of a Coterie — a chosen group — we are more than a clothing label. We are a community of artists, creatives, and quiet tastemakers who understand that good design speaks softly but leaves a lasting impression.
Every collection is built like a short film: thoughtful, textural, and personal. From elevated wardrobe staples to curated accessories, our pieces are made to be worn with ease and remembered with feeling.
128 is more than a number. It’s alignment. It’s trust in your path.
Coterie is more than a name. It’s belonging — without needing to explain.
Welcome to the house. You’re already part of it.

Meet the Founder
As the Founder and Creative Director of 128 Coterie, my journey began with a simple desire: to make people feel something through what they wear.
From sketching designs and customizing clothes for friends in high school, to releasing my first collection in 2021, this brand has always been about more than fabric — it’s been about presence. By 2023, I knew it was time to fully bring the vision to life: a house rooted in individuality, culture, and quiet confidence.
Growing up between Maryland and New Jersey, I was inspired by the rhythm of the city — boutique storefronts, vintage record stores, small moments that felt cinematic. That feeling of putting on something that turned heads without trying — that aligned energy — is what I want everyone to feel when they wear 128 Coterie.
This brand isn’t just fashion. It’s a reflection of identity. It’s about community, curation, and storytelling through style. Inspired by my mother — a seamstress with an eye for timeless detail — and a lifelong dream to build something beautiful, I created 128 Coterie as a space where fashion, art, and intention could live together.
This is clothing made for the ones who move with purpose — and always, with taste.
The Coterie is Real
We don’t just collaborate — we build with those who inspire us. Each partner brings their own rhythm, story, and vision to the world of 128 Coterie.
