Papillae:House of Design
Words from Gabrielle…..
“Papillae are hand-crafted, freehand originals. Every piece is made in a moment, capturing the creative essence of the time. No two pieces will ever be alike, all as different as a fingerprint. Each is its own original.
I believe that it is important to people who buy Papillae to know that nowhere else can they see their piece, some may use similar patterns or shapes, but never will they be identical. Everyone has their wallet or bag on them at all times, I believe they should have an accessory that's even closer to THEM.
Papillae is committed to providing dignity and quality of life to EVERYONE. Our initiatives are centralized around a tailor-made approach, giving each customer a piece that reflects themselves. Our mission is to exude and influence high quality in every customer by reflecting their personal style aesthetics.
Sustainability is a pillar in the mission of Papillae. I understand the importance of protecting the environment, and fashion’s impact on the ecosystem.
Papillae pieces are created out of upcycled clothing to reduce the waste generated by the rising fast fashion industry. I collect old, even worn and damaged clothing. *No intimates and undergarments*
It is my hope that every person the receives their Papillae piece enjoys the style, uniqueness and longevity. I am grateful you chose to carry it to all those places where memories are created!”

But what does Papillae even mean?
"Pap-pi-lay" (Papillae)
Named after "Puh-pi-lee" (Papillae); plural of "Puh-pi-luh" (Papilla)
Papillae are defined as small round protuberances of tissue on a part or organ of the body concerned with the senses: touch, taste, smell.
Like Fingerprints!
I named Papillae: House of Design LLC after fingerprints, scientifically known as “dermal papillae”:
Human fingerprints are nearly unique.
Difficult to alter.
Persistent over a human life span.
Papillae adopts these qualities by maintaining uniqueness in each and every piece.
Papillae offers customization services for your own ready-to-wear apparel and accessories.
Just like fingerprints, Papillae is tailor-made for your aesthetic.
