My dream is to create the “this was mine” moment for your children and their babies to come.

Born and raised in Jackson, Mississippi my southern roots are grounded deep into the Mississippi clay itself. However, there is a sweet family history before that. My ancestors came from France, and had the name of Priere. The name is a family name that also means “to pray” in French. I have photos and stories of the French women and mothers interlocked into my family heritage. The beauty and style they expressed radiates through my designs. Both of my grandmothers, Carolyn & Gail hand-sew. They have made countless family heirloom items over the years. I grew up wearing their handmade French lace bonnets, hand sewed gowns with stunning details that my daughter Libby will, too wear one day. The name Libby comes from Elizabeth, who was my grandmother’s mother. I have created my business because of the women who came before me. The brown eyed girls that grew up to become mothers and impact the next generation of mothers. To me, this is everything.

I am embracing everything motherhood brings to me. I am a stay at home mom with two babies under the age of three. I have found a profound appreciation for heirlooms and keepsakes. There is much to be said about family items that are so special to be passed down to generation to generation. I want to share the sentimental feeling of putting my baby boy into heirlooms that his daddy wore, more causal pieces that my brother wore and also heirloom gowns that my grandmother made just for him. I want to share this experience with others… also, I would like to add that family heirlooms do NOT have to be fancy! Sometimes they are play clothes that are worn for the everyday adventures.

My dream is to create the “this was mine” moment for your children and their babies to come. Libby Priere Designs brings a unique touch to embroidery with dainty detailing offered on beautiful heirlooms and keepsakes. My hope is my designs will become significant pieces passed down from your brown eyed babies to the next. I cannot wait to become a small part of your story.
