Ever wondered what it’s like to go from working with iconic luxury brands like Escada and Pucci to launching your own DIY sewing empire? In this episode of Off the Hanger, I chat with the lovely Christine Lindebak — founder of Sewing and the City — about her incredible career in fashion and why she swapped the high-end runway for handmade wardrobes.
We dive into everything from her 25-year-old Escada tweed coat (yep, it still looks amazing!) to a box full of her grandmother’s vintage scarves. Christine’s all about quality fabrics, timeless style, and making pieces that actually last — and trust me, she’s got the stories to back it up.
She also talks about what it means to create clothes for yourself, not for trends — and how designing her own striped jacket with a scarf lining (genius!) reminded her just how creative sewing can be.
Whether you're a fashion lover, a vintage treasure hunter, or someone curious about sewing your own stuff, this episode is packed with warmth, inspiration, and serious style goals.
