Welcome

I’m Leslie, Designer and Owner of C’est Lea! My passions include designing, couture sewing, spinning, knitting, weaving, creating Nuno-Felted pieces, creating hand bound journals, cooking and growing herbs.  I live in Franklin, Tennessee with my wonderful, supportive husband and Delilah, our crazy Border Collie mix  (who always keeps me moving). We love it in Tennessee and all that Franklin has to offer. The beauty is so inspiring and it allows me to dream of what can be done if you just believe in yourself! As design has always been my calling, I attended FIT (The Fashion Institute of Technology) in New York City where I received my Couture Certificate and majored in Apparel Design with an emphasis on Evening Wear, Bridal Gowns and Haute Couture. My dream has always been to have my own studio where I could create beautiful one-of-a-kind pieces. C’est Lea! is that dream. Take a peek at my collections and check back  for more new items as I continue my journey. Thanks for stopping by!
