“I met Denise through a series of friends and mutual connections. I immediately was taken in by her warmth and style, and of course, by the clothing she designs. I love carrying Ichiche in the shop and honoring the woman behind it." - Linda

Any woman who is confident & kind, moving through the world listening to her own heart
