Bringing Vintage Pieces Back to Life

I’ve worked with Lize on and off for almost 10 years, and every time I’m reminded why she’s so great at what she does. Her eye for detail is unmatched, but it’s her genuine love for both the craft and the people she works with that really stands out. I stopped by the Poppi Shed this week and was impressed all over again. The way she brings vintage pieces back to life — giving them new character without losing their story — is something special. You can tell there’s real heart behind every piece.
