“My Husband calls me a Hoarder. I prefer Collector.”
Like many women, I wear many hats (not all of which are designer): mother, wife, daughter, sister, aunt, friend, farmer, and business owner. When not managing Eleanor Leftwich, our family’s multi-generational farm, or chasing after my four children, I enjoy the thrill of the hunt (for vintage finds, that is). Eleanor Leftwich was originally created to share the joy of getting dressed every day, but soon morphed into a platform to help others build a beautiful (and sustainable) wardrobe of sophisticated but easy to wear pieces, or what I call, The Uniform. I hope you’ll join us as we live life in and beyond the uniform!
The Ethos
Eleanor Leftwich offers versatile, heirloom-quality pieces crafted in small batches by a women-led factory in Chicago, using premium fabrics from Italian, French, and English mills. Inspired by vintage fashion and a commitment to quality over quantity, the collections seamlessly transition from professional settings to everyday life.
The Vision
Eleanor's philosophy centers on empowering women to embrace their personal style confidently, advocating for investment in enduring wardrobe staples that can be cherished for years to come. Her mission is to create pieces that offer versatility, continuity across collections, and affordable luxury. This is slow fashion, done the right way—ethical, intentional, and built to last.
The Core
At its core, Eleanor Leftwich is about dressing the woman who does it all—with style that never tries too hard and a belief that elegance isn’t reserved for special occasions. It’s a mindset, a way of moving through life with grace, ease, and quiet confidence.
