Behind The Brand

SUE SARTOR creates small batch treasures that exemplify joy, optimism and femininity. Each style is designed thoughtfully to go everywhere life takes you in comfort and effortless style. Our designs feature handmade artisan textiles with the sensibility of modern silhouettes. 

Handcrafted with intention, here are a few of the many reasons a SUE SARTOR dress feels so special:

SMALL BATCH ARTISTRY

Each SUE SARTOR style is produced in limited-edition small batches, often just 15–20 pieces per size. Signature hand block prints are stamped one at a time by master artisans using centuries-old techniques passed down through generations. Developed exclusively in-house, each print, colorway, and fabric is created in highly limited quantities by Sue and her daughter Adelaide, Associate Designer. From hand-loomed silks and cottons to finely crafted finishing details, every piece reflects an enduring commitment to artistry, craftsmanship, and timeless design.

EFFORTLESSLY SOPHISTICATED

Every SUE SARTOR silhouette is designed with ease in mind - refined, versatile, and effortless to wear. Lightweight, comfortable, and suitcase-ready, these are pieces made to travel beautifully through every part of life.

JOY

Joy is at the heart of every SUE SARTOR collection. Vibrant color, expressive print, and thoughtful design come together to create pieces that feel uplifting, confident, and full of life. Designed to be worn often and lived in fully, each style brings a sense of optimism to the everyday.

About The Designer

Sue Sartor is an independent designer with a deep admiration for fashion, textiles, art and flowers. Sue started her career working in fashion merchandising for Calvin Klein’s iconic luxury brand, Calvin Klein Collection in the prolific 90’s… but she dreamed of designing her own artisan, luxury line of tunics, dresses, & kaftans.

Sue felt there was a need to bring to market a fashion line of sustainable textiles sourced globally with the sensibility of western style. Her custom embroideries are botanically inspired by the beauty of flora and fauna, and she  delights in creating getaway worthy garments & statement making moments for her clients.
