Our Story

While Elements of Existence™️ was founded in 2023, the story truly began back in December of 2012 after Ava was gifted a Bernina sewing machine by her parents who recognized a passion in her far before she did. Hand sewn dresses for her Barbies soon became machine sewn ballgowns, and pins and needles stored in empty tissue boxes became sewing supplies kept in her crafting table.

Hundreds of small and large projects developed throughout the years, but in senior year of high school, Ava decided to put her skills to the test and sew her own prom dress. The creation of that dress was the pivotal moment in her career that taught her how to combine conceptual, unique design with durability and longevity. 

After reflecting on her prom dress and many other successful projects, Ava realized this  was never just a hobby, it is a deeply rooted passion. 

A few months later, while living at home in her first year of college, Ava sought to blend her interest in finance and business with her bountiful sewing expertise. After months of planning and curation of a free spirited, yet meaningful and timeless brand, Elements of Existence™️ was born.

Years in the making, our brand sits on the foundation of passion, unwavering dedication, and a drive to create. Each of our bags carries a piece of Ava’s soul, forged over the past decade, infused with care, creativity, and craftsmanship. Experience the journey with Elements of Existence™️.
