Our Story

Who is George S Wallace??

George Covatis and Wallace Emerson were my grandfathers (the S in the middle stands for Stephanie-that’s me!). They were two of the kindest, most positively influential men in my life. They taught me a lot about how to be in this world, and without them I wouldn’t have had the courage to venture out on my own and embark on this exciting journey of entrepreneurship.

My grandmother Joyce taught me how to sew on her 1960-something Kenmore sewing machine when I was a child, and after she passed I inherited her machine. Many of our offerings are, to this day, sewn on that very machine!

During the lockdowns of 2020, while searching for faemask patterns to sew and donate to the hospital I worked in, I stumbled down the rabbit-hole of bag making. I found instructions for a boxy bag, sewed it up and fell in love. So, after over 25 years of working in the Emergency Department, I hung up my scrubs and began a full-time, second career as a bag maker. I’ve had to learn as I go, but I am loving every minute of it!
