Meet the Business Owner: Sophie T.
Born in France, Sophie studied International Business in Paris before moving to Boston in the early 90's.
While working in the corporate and nonprofit world; her last job was at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston for 10 years, she started feeling the pull of a more creative field.
Sophie used found textiles and unconventional sewing techniques in her artwork and it gradually became clear that fiber arts was her medium.
A recurring theme in her work revolved around hyper-consumerism and the waste our society generates. So it seemed natural that, she would choose to do something ethically sound by making handmade items, locally.
In 2011, while unable to find a bag that would fit her taste and needs, she started playing with leather and Stitch and Tickle was born!
Truong's process creating bags is intuitive and tactile, so the leather she chooses always dictates what the final product will be. Yet, all bags have the same qualities: they are are simple, beautiful, functional, timeless
