Heirlome originated from the idea that garments can be treasured, shared and passed down from one generation to another. Modern, feminine and timeless pieces made with a focus on quality and forgotten traditions. Heirlome pieces are developed in the garment district in New York City, by highly skilled pattern makers. We consider each piece a collaboration as it takes multiple hands throughout the development process. We are proud of the community of skilled artisans, cutters, pattern-makers and sewers that we have the privilege to work with.


Heirlome is a luxury women’s ready-to-wear collection built on the idea of forgotten traditions. Founded by Stephanie Suberville and Jeffrey Axford, each collection introduces a new artisan’s work, explored through print, pattern and embroidery. Respecting the authenticity of their art combined with impeccable tailoring, thoughtful details and the finest fabrics, each piece is made with a focus on quality and longevity.

 

Heirlome is the middle English word for Heirloom, a valuable object that has been part of a family for many generations. Heirlome comes from combining the two words heir and lome, lome meaning tool. While the word currently refers to a fine piece of jewelry that has been passed down through a family, we believe that knowledge, craft and skill are also heirlooms. The artisans studios we collaborate with in Mexico as well as the factories we work with are family owned and their craft has been passed down through generations.

Originally from Monterrey Mexico, Stephanie moved to New York City in 2004 to attend Parsons School of Design. She graduated 2008, and was ‘Womenswear Designer of Year’ for her Frida Kahlo inspired senior thesis. She went on to compete with this collection at Brussels Weekend L’Vif, alongside students from Central Saint Martins and The Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Antwerp.


After having gained extensive experience working for various fashion brands in New York City, Stephanie and husband Jeffrey launched Heirlome with the goal to create a unique luxury brand while collaborating with artists and artisans in Stephanie’s home country Mexico. The couple works as a team on all aspects of the brand, bringing together Stephanie’s creative talent combined with Jeff’s penchant for detail. Stephanie and Jeffrey live together in New York City with their two children.
