The Atelier
A world of bespoke design
The Collection Inc. is a Brooklyn-based design atelier devoted to heirloom craftsmanship, narrative design, and intimate experiences. Our work spans garments, objects, and environments, each created slowly, intentionally, and in collaboration with our clients.
“ I never felt pressured to make a certain decision - the end goal was to just make it “me” and choose what was in my heart. For anyone who knows me, knows I’m overtly analytical - I want all the answers and possibilities before I make a decision, and this process was anything but that. I am seriously amazed by Ashley’s ability to quell any nerve or fear I felt throughout the process and constantly remind me, that is’ just about me. It has truly been one of the biggest joys to work with Ashley to create this, to get to bring friends and family together, and seriously just have so much fun. ”
Bespoke Bridal & Couture
One-of-a-kind garments, designed from the inside out
We create fully bespoke wedding gowns and ceremonial garments, built entirely to your measurements and shaped through couture technique, hand-draping, and story. Each piece is singular, never repeated, and designed to become a modern heirloom.
Heirloom Redesign & Preservation
Honoring what came before
We thoughtfully rework and preserve vintage garments, textiles, and sentimental materials, allowing personal history to be worn, held, and passed forward. This work balances restoration with transformation, guided by reverence and care.
“From the sketches sent to me, to the outline, to the first mockup, to the final product, I was able to visualize every aspect of it.”
All work begins by inquiry and is developed collaboratively. For custom bridal, wardrobe, and Heirloom Redesign inquiries, please begin your Collection Inc. Profile.
“I felt listened to. We took a simple idea to pay homage to my Italian and British heritages and turned it into something that is nostalgic yet modern at the same time. From completing a mood board all the way through final fitting, my input and ideas were not only asked for but encouraged.”
Experiential Design in theAtelier
Intimate gatherings rooted in making
Our atelier experiences invite guests into the creative process through charm parties, Parlour gatherings, and small-scale design-led moments. Each experience is intentionally intimate, collaborative, and centered around craft.
Adornment & Objects
From custom charm necklaces to intimate personal objects, we design adornment as a form of ritual. These pieces are created to mark milestones, transitions, and memories, meant to evolve over time.
Event Design & Experiential Design
Atmosphere, form, and intention
We design environments and experiences that consider space, movement, and narrative. From table styling to immersive installations, this work focuses on creating meaningful atmospheres rather than spectacle.
Our work spans bespoke garments, intimate experiences, and collaborative design. Each offering begins through a dedicated inquiry path.
