Story

Hello! my name is Anastasia Cheva & I was born & raised in Russia, but been living in the US for over 12 years. I am a mom to two fluffy sons & extreme lover for animals! You wont see me working with companies that support any kind of animal violence!

I am trying to open an online clothing boutique for women (& hopefully men too) that is edgy, sexy & feels good to your soul & mind. I would like to empower as many people as possible to feel comfortable & confident in their bodies, no matter the size! BUT! Also with a thought about the World, with a strong emphasize on eco-friendly & biodegradable fabrics & packaging. I am planning to focus production in US based manufacturers, which will drive the cost of a product up, but will also keep production in the US. Same goes for supporting smaller Etsy businesses by buying tags, stickers, tissue paper & all needed items to hopefully keep them flourishing. Two big manufacturers I am looking at is in California “Creative Culture Consulting” that provides everything from A to Z. You send them your doodles and they will make technical blueprints & samples, they can even provide customer support, dropshipping, returns, etc. They are definitely easier to scale with.  Another company I am looking into is “Apparel Production INC.” in NY, which would be more convenient & closer to my location, but may not meet all my needs. 

I had a dream of having my own clothing line since I was 16, but had no idea what to do, how, & what I truly wanted out of this until recently.  After my ex-husband ended 11 year marriage, my self-image & self-worth was really low, I was vulnerable & emotionally down. I moved states & started a job in a new state where I was sexually harassed. As much as I tried to stay positive at work, all my acquaintances turned their backs on me and started spreading rumors, because as most women in that position probably know, we are being blamed for everything that happens to us. My mental health started to degrade & I quit. Thankfully around the same time I got a social media contract that allowed me to work from home & stay afloat. That`s when I was spiritually awakened & saw a bigger picture & the tough lessons I had to learn. My spirituality connected me back with my inner child, but I also realized my path & destination of empowering & healing people`s self love.

It took me months to heal myself, reborn & raise above. I want to help all women & (hopefully one day men) to be in their own power, to feel their self-worth & that every inch of your body is beautiful and sexy no matter the size! I truly believe in this idea & my dream & wont back up & give up until I at least try, because if you never try, you will never know & if you will never know, you will always wonder! Never wonder what your life can be, just take that leap of faith you always wanted, & you can be sure that I will be there to catch you. Let`s heal our self & the World with one step at the time. Sending you all love & light!

P.S. I promise to keep you all in the loop, step by step!
