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.
