Early beginnings
{ lovesprung } began as { Angel.Candy-Rock }, a little thread in the marketplace of a doll forum in 2005. It is based in Singapore and stocked simple, casual clothing for dolls made by hand and a serger.
The shop underwent a rebranding in 2012, where { lovesprung } could better represent the style of clothes designed. My mother sewed her own designs sometimes, and her clothes came under the sub brand { piccola fenice }.
Going forward
In recent years, my seamstress mother has since retired from sewing and I am now a one-woman-show behind the brand. I started a new modern vintage kimono series in 2021, introducing Taisho Roman pieces and later on, luxurious gathered lace furisode kimono for the romantic dolly girls. I am now dabbling in more styles of clothing and enjoy experimenting more with various types of fabric. I hope you will enjoy dressing your dolls with my creations. :)More about our retired seamstress (pre-2022)
My mother is aged 77 this year (2025) and had been sewing even before I was born. I remember picking up pins and bobbins she dropped on floors around her sewing machine, and the bags of clothes she sped through to earn a living to bring up my brother and I. She was renowned for her professional and neat sewing, with final pieces flowing beautifully without a fault. She was also an efficient and precise seamstress. (I am glad she stepped in to sew my bridal gown, too! <3)
I remember mother was apprehensive with sewing for dolls when I first started out in this hobby, but after seeing the little clothes I sewed together haphazardly (without skill), she decided to bring in her expertise to elevate our creations together. :) I am very, very honoured to have had her use her amazing skills to sew something so small as dolly clothes, and feel much pride in the finished products offered.
