About Us

Hi,

We are Sarah and Jennifer, the founders of Shop Awni.

We are cousins and have been best friends since we were born. Both of us have always had a passion for clothing and fashion that started when we were young. When we were little we would make clothes for our Barbie's together. It slowly progressed over time into items like pillows and blankets. As we grew up, we started focusing on other things, and didn't spend much time sewing. Our love for fashion still growing strong.

Things changed when Covid happened. Both of us had a lot of free time and decided we wanted to start sewing again. It started with us making tops for ourselves, and then pants, purses, hats, etc. We would post our creations on our Instagram and our friends really enjoyed what we were making. After some deliberation, we decided to start a shop in 2020.

The name of our shop comes from our Grandfather. He was deaf, and read people's lips, but he couldn't pronounce Jennifer. Because of this, he started calling her "Awni". Overtime, as we got older, he started calling both of us "Awni".  So this is where our shop name comes from, Shop "Awni".

Our main goal as a shop is to share our love for vintage and handmade fashion with as many people as we can. There is nothing more rewarding than seeing someone get excited about an item we handmade or curated. Come along with us on our journey of selling handmade and vintage items.

Thank you, Shop Awni
