About Sourpez
Handmade in NYC
Sourpez is a ready-wear and commission-based clothing brand, specializing in corsets. Sourpez was founded in 2020 due to the rising demand for custom corsets in the NYC area and has since expanded to gowns, purses, skirts, and underwear. All Sourpez pieces are handmade in Manhattan or Searsmont, Maine.
About me
My name is Ava Burckhardt, I was born and raised in NYC and I still live and design here! I have been sewing since I was a child but started making clothes for others (and myself) around 2020. While in College I realized by love of costumes and sewing I began work as a costume designer and wardrobe technician.
