About

Hi! I'm Ariel, the owner and designer behind Violet & Hawthorn.

In a world where we’re constantly surrounded by toxic chemicals, it became deeply important to me that my kids were safe—especially in something as close to them as their clothing. That’s what led me to start sewing organic children’s clothes for my own little ones. What began as a personal mission quickly turned into something more: a joyful, creative journey that brought beauty, safety, and comfort into our everyday lives.

I’ve always loved sewing and being creative, but when I learned just how harmful conventional cotton clothing can be, something clicked. I knew this was what I wanted to do—not just for my family, but for others who care deeply about the health and well-being of their children.

Every piece I create is made with love in my home studio in Bend, Oregon. I use only certified organic fabrics and low-impact dyes, taking care with every detail—from the pattern to the final stitch—so your little one can wear something truly special. My kids (now teenagers!) sometimes even help out, making this truly a family-run labor of love.

I also balance this work with a job at UPS and a full, vibrant family life—so I know what it means to want safe, beautiful, and practical clothing that lasts.

Violet & Hawthorn is more than just a brand—it's a heartfelt offering for parents who want the very best for their children. I’m so happy you’re here, and I can’t wait for you to experience the joy of handmade, organic clothing that’s as safe as it is sweet.
