Ana Louie is a Seattle-based line of refined and beautifully tailored dresses and separates for sophisticated young ladies ages 7 to 14. Ana Louie was inspired by sketches of founder’s eight year old daughter of the same name. Her eye for style emerged very early and her drawings have been realized with fine materials and impeccable construction to create Ana Louie. The line debuts with the 1950’s Parisian-inspired Holiday 2011 Collection, which is a confident array of beautiful dresses, ruffled collars and tailored coats.

“From a young age, Ana loved to dress up and pick out her ‘special dresses.’ When she was 5 years old, she started drawing a myriad of dresses, tops, skirts and hats. She would sit for what seemed like hours perfecting the drawings to better represent what was in her imagination. Crayon drawings eventually transformed into the colored pencil sketches and a select few are the inspiration for our Holiday line,” says Ann Marie Louie, founder and CEO of Ana Louie. “It’s a joy to witness her dream become a reality and very empowering for us both.”

Ann Marie Louie, the founder and CEO of Ana Louie, merges the relationships and expertise she has developed as a 15 year veteran of the transportation, international trade and manufacturing industry, with her creative spirit and entrepreneurial courage. Behind the beautiful pieces and at the core of Ana Louie is a socially-conscious and China-focused mission. Ana was adopted from Yong Feng, Jiangxi Province China and today so much of the garments we love are manufactured close to her birthplace.

“I fully realize that the opportunities Ana has today are not extended to all girls around the world, especially in China. An important part of our mission is to give back to her country of birth and help all little girls become realize their inner strength,” says Ann Marie Louie.

Ana Louie has been featured on KUNS-TV Seattle, in Seattle Scene, BahratTextile.com and Skinny Purse Fashion Blog calls Ana Louie "adorable." The line debuted publicly to an audience of over 500 consumers and industry at Fashion Network-Seattle's Haute Summer Night: Fashion on the Boardwalk fashion show and will present to the international industry this summer as an exhibitor at ENK International Children's Club in New York City.
