Welcome To
Rene Andrew's Blog
Rene Andrew is a new upcoming resort-wear brand.
Each garment is handmade by me (the owner/designer) and is created with love, care, and high quality craftsmanship. I treat each piece like it is my baby and I am so thankful for all of the love
and support from each client. Please remember these items are handmade but are crafted to be
just as durable as a mass-produced garment.

On that note, allow me to introduce Rene Andrew
and give you a little background behind the brand before it is officially launched!
A brand is defined by its unique qualities and defining style.
So what makes Rene Andrew unique?
Rene Andrew is a unique combination of luxurious styles mixed with exotic
prints.
Each design is enriched with natural elements and a touch of
glittering jeweled details.
Rene Andrew will blend the lines that divide bohemian and glamorous fashion.

I have met so many people around
the world that crave the same styles as I do,
yet the industry tends to keep these two categories separate:

you are either glamorous or
bohemian.
But why can't I be both?
I like the flowy, tribal, carefree
styles that bohemian fashions bring to the table,
but I also love the glamorous sparkle of rhinestones and jewels.

Rene Andrew will be the
brand that blends these two lines together.

Love, Dedication & Creation
Rene Andrew is not just another brand trying to make it.
In fact, the lifestyle and journey behind the brand is quite incredible itself.
Let's start with Love.
My love for my husband is everlasting... as is my love for fashion.
So when my husband asked me to be by his side as he pursues his dream
to be a professional baseball player, I obviously agreed and began traveling with him.
For those of you who don't know the lifestyle of a minor league baseball player
allow me to enlighten you a little bit.
Although it is believed to be glamorous, it is for the most part extremely stressful.
You have no control over your career and you travel spontaneously without a moment's notice.
You are constantly traveling from hotel to hotel and occasionally flying from state to state.
You are constantly traveling from hotel to hotel and occasionally flying from state to state.
For example, one day we were in Florida and within a matter of hours my husband was flown to New Jersey... leaving me stranded 18 hours away.
My husband had no clue whether he would be in Jersey for a week, a month or 6 months!
So what is a baseball wife to do?
Well, after weeks apart and lots of time to focus on sewing
I finally had to pack up the entire apartment and drive 18 hours by myself up to Jersey.
Between all of this and revolving your entire life around a baseball schedule
you can imagine that having a normal career yourself can be nearly impossible.
Yet my deep love for fashion shined through
as I began chasing my dream and building the brand; from learning the ins and outs of
the legal requirements to sewing my little heart out all day and night in hotel rooms.
But that is what one must do for love...
Love for my husband, love for Rene Andrew, and love for the game.
Which leads me to Dedication.
As you can see we are completely dedicated to baseball, but luckily
I have such a wonderful husband who is also 100% dedicated to my dreams, too.

I am also so blessed to have a team full of players and wives
that are determined to make Rene Andrew great!

For example, the beautiful faces of Rene Andrew are also baseball wives and
the photographers who create the editorial images are player's family members
who are also entrepreneurs following their dreams.
We know that it takes teamwork and dedication to accomplish great success
and we've got it!
And lastly, Creation.
Whether I am awake or sleeping I must be doing something creative.
During the day I am either sewing, coming up with new designs,
sketching the next collection or designing the website.

When I go to sleep, you'd think my mind would take a moment to rest...
but instead I dream about clothing.
The creative process is the most important part to me.
Like I mentioned before, each garment is like my baby. I take my time sewing and use
my education, training, and skills to create each piece. Each garment is held to my highest standards...
and trust me they are very high.

I also use the highest quality materials. For example, swimwear has thick lining so that
one must never worry about their swimsuits being see-through when wet;
and dresses made of silk are made from high-end silks imported from Asia.
