I met Tashe and her bulldog, Nelson, on a hot summer day at the where she greeted me with a tray of iced lattes to chat about life, style and her latest venture 鈥� a mobile boutique.
鈥淗aute Wheels launched in June 2017 and it has totally taken off,鈥� said Tashe, who is also the owner of . 鈥淚t鈥檚 a different way of buying and I鈥檓 really enjoying it: different lines, styles and a new challenge. Right now I am buying for Spring 2018 for Sartorial, and buying in-season for the truck, which is more frequent.鈥�
Describing the style of Sartorial Boutique, Tashe said, 鈥淎 lot of the clients describe the clothes in Sartorial as 鈥榗asual made elegant.鈥欌��
Sporting a crisp blue denim jacket, white denim shorts, and a loose floral top, Tasha said that for her own personal style, it鈥檚 important for her to stay true to her personality.
鈥淚 definitely think that less is more. I like more classic pieces 鈥� clothing that is lasting and of good quality. I am a lazy dresser, so my go-to pieces are jeans, sweaters and boots. In the summertime I keep it casual all around.鈥�
Now, 10 years since she opened Sartorial Boutique, Tashe feels that the fundamental piece in her work 鈥� that which energizes her the most 鈥� is the relationships she鈥檚 made with clients over the years.
She also said the best business lesson she鈥檚 learned is to not to 鈥渙verthink鈥� it: 鈥淩etail is a cycle of peaks and valleys, so I鈥檝e learned not to second guess myself.鈥�
She added, 鈥淭he great thing about fashion right now is that anything goes. I love the sneaker trend right now and frayed jeans with a released hem.鈥�
Asked what鈥檚 coming up this autumn, she said, 鈥淚 am really excited for fall. It鈥檚 all about knits, ponchos, sweaters, sweaters and more sweaters.鈥�
