Boomers

Name: Rockin’ Grannies Guild
Profile:We have been a fashion design group since 2005. Our members are grandmothers and grandmother/daughter teams who design and create primarily for children but also for moms and the home. Our combined creative experiences total more years than we might want to admit but the quality and uniqueness of our work also comes from our interesting and varied personal and professional backgrounds. Originally an internet group, some of our members also sell to boutiques and at craft and art shows. The world of style and fashion is always changing, it¹s exciting and challenging and we love being a part of it.
