FALL 2015 LOOKBOOK
The Evy’s Tree Story My name is Amy, and I am a 30-something-year-old 4th grade public school teacher morphed into a stay at home mom to two beautiful babies, Jacob and Evelyn. I am married to the most amazing man in the world, Brandon, who is our Director of Operations, faith speaker, my number one supporter and father extraordinaire! How Evy’s Tree came into my life is completely by accident; definitely what I would consider a God thing. When I decided to stay home with Jacob, money was VERY tight. In October of 2009, I was inspired by many wonderful and creative stay at home moms who could whip up these beautiful items for their families with practically no money. I felt like I couldn’t even take my kids’ hems up if I needed to, and that made me feel very inadequate as a mom for some strange reason. It seemed like everyone I knew could sew. So I borrowed my mom’s sewing machine and attempted to learn. In fact, I did a big post on my family blog regarding my feelings about being crafty right after I brought the machine home. The post is a bit of a joke now as I complained how I wasn’t creative, and yet here I am- creating for a living! Anyway, I started sewing a little for myself and then I took on the task, with help from some do it yourself blogs, of embellishing some hoodies from my closet for a trip to Disney World that my family was taking in December. I made a handful of hoodies and got gobs and gobs of compliments while in Florida. I posted some pictures of the hoodies on my family blog and almost immediately I started receiving emails from people asking if they could purchase one. A couple of weeks later I put up a Paypal link on my blog and sold 15 in 30 minutes. And my business was born…today we no longer make our items by hand, but mass produce luxury pieces from high end fabrics that we have found from all over the world.
Why “Evy’s Tree”? I get asked often how we came up with the name “Evy’s Tree”…we call our daughter Evelyn, “Evy”, and on her first bedroom wall we painted a beautiful white tree with an owl sitting on the branches. When I was sewing my first “Hoot” hoodie, which had an owl face on the chest, Jacob walked up, saw the owl and asked, “Is that Evy’s Tree, Mama?” The name for the hoodies just stuck.
Why Luxury hoodies? I was born and raised in the San Francisco Bay Area. Since we lived so close to the coast, the marine layer/coastal fog would roll in at night and turn a 80 degree day into freezing cold within a few seconds flat. I was taught to always carry a hoodie or light jacket in my backpack or in the trunk of my car. We layer- a lot- around here. As I became a mom, I noticed how hard it was to find hoodies that were cute, acceptable as day wear, but also comfortable and luxurious. To me, its all about the feel and the fit, as well as the cuteness factor. I found it so hard to find a hoodie that met my standards and that I could throw on and run my kids to school in the morning without looking like I just rolled out of bed. This is why we continue to pursue making high end hoodies that make every woman feel amazing... even if she did just roll out of bed, none would be the wiser!
Many blessings to you all!
$98.95 The perfect Fall piece! The Brooke Tunic looks amazing over skinny jeans or leggings, and equally as amazing all by itself as a dress. Made from our luxurious, super soft fabric in a deep emerald color, this tunic gives you the two in one option of wearing it as a summer dress or a warmer tunic thrown over jeans during cooler months. The three quarter length sleeves are completed with mini buttons, two of which are functional, and we covered one on each sleeve with a ditzy flower print to add a vintage misplaced vibe. Two oversized pockets grace the front, because let’s be honest, every piece of comfort wear should have pockets, right? This is a MUST have for fall. Each tunic comes with its own matching infinity scarf that can double as either a scarf, cowl neck or hood. You can wear the tunic with the scarf or without, so fun!

$129.95 You guys I’m so excited about the Britt Cape! Named after my neice Brittany, this one has been in the works for a long time...I have designed and redesigned it many times, making it perfect. I wanted to do it in a gazillion colors, but settled on Fall 2015’s hottest neutral: a speckled grey with a pop of color and dark contrasting rib at the wrists. My inspiration for this one was part New York and part Sound of Music...this cape was created to add some extra warmth over sweaters, basically if you have bulk on, you can still wear an #evystree hoodie! The fabric is a thick, super soft fabric with a fleece lining, plus a hood.. Wear this one every day over your work clothes or over your PJ’s you will still look amazing. I hope you love it, thank you for allowing me to design what I love!

$229.00 Let’s talk about the Lia Overcoat. Named after my sister in law, this coat was inspired by a popular silhouette I saw everywhere last fall. I had several capes like this myself and found I preferred them over heavy coats, especially in our mild Nor Cal winters. This overcoat is actually a test coat to see if we have the audience for a couture line, as this one is THICK THICK THICK. It really truly is a cross between a hoodie and a coat, it is very warm and can be worn over thick sweaters or tshirts. We have it paired with our chocolate layering leaves here. It is very generous in size and fits all shapes and sizes well. The chocolate is a true lovely, versatile chocolate that goes with anything. The fabric is ultra soft and cozy, the hood generous. It has snap closure. We promise, this is one show stopping heavy piece.
