What Gertie's Heirlooms Is

Gertie's Heirlooms is Trudi's legacy and my promise to keep it going. Every piece I make carries the standard she set: do it right, work hard, and never forget that what you're creating was meant to be handed down for generations.

I specialize in heirloom-quality baby and children's items. Hand-smocked bishop dresses. French val lace insertions. Entredeaux seams done the way they're supposed to be done. Monogrammed pieces that carry a child's name with the kind of craftsmanship that earns a place in the family cedar chest.

Every piece is made by hand in Corinth, Mississippi. I don't cut corners and I don't rush. If it's not right, it doesn't leave my hands.

Who This Is For

If you're a mama looking for a christening gown that your granddaughter will wear someday, you're in the right place. If you're a grandmother who remembers what real handwork looks like and wants that for your grandbaby, you're in the right place. If you believe some things are still worth doing the slow way, the right way, the way that lasts, you're in the right place.
