Sara is a textile and fiber artist based in Chicago, Illinois. Her company, Tulipán began as a creative outlet for Sara’s excitement for style and expression. Mending treasured denim and altering classic, vintage jeans to fit comfortably has been at the root of her inspiration. Sara salvages and repurposes textiles to construct one-of-a-kind sustainable and wearable art pieces. Each embroidered, beaded, and hand-sewn design is made with careful intention using classic tools (needle, thread, and patience). Her unique style took shape, inspired by counterculture fashion, her surrounding Chicago communities, Midwestern lakes, and the creative female force in her family. “Tulipán” was the nickname given to Sara’s dear sister in her bilingual preschool meaning “tulip” in Spanish. Tulipan is driven by Sara’s dedication to the art of quilting and hand embroidery and love of vintage denim.
