- Join Stroytellers of Appalachia for Appalachia's Lost Art: The Custom Clothier. In this profile piece with meet with Stephen Curd, owner of the custom clothing business, Lavelle, in Abingdon, VA, as he shares his efforts to re-establish the lost art of making custom clothing in Appalachia.
What an inspiring story! We need a lot more of this, getting back to good old fashioned values and manufacturing with heart
Steve is a gem! He's a true artist, craftsman, and keeper of old traditions. Meeting him was a delight. This piece is a beautiful reflection of this man's heart, passion, and skill. He is just as genuine in person.
What an interesting and enjoyable video! I find the approach he describes to involve the customer so thoroughly in the process to fulfill the idea of relationship-building he alludes to. That's awesome. I've never had an article of clothing be custom made for me - sounds like something very special indeed. And his grandmother's advice, "take your time", is solid gold! Thanks for sharing this!!
How awesome is this! It is amazing that this art which was in his family still carries on today. Quality is something that is real hard to find today. You pay the price but overall still get an inferior quality. I've heard it said, if you want quality it takes time but if you want junk you can get it fast. It goes something like that. Maybe not exactly, but I think it still makes the point. He is doing a great job! For him to carry on this legacy, it is good to see he had a heart for his grandmother, a heart for true craftsmanship and for people. Hope you and your business will be blessed for many more years to come! Joshua thanks for sharing. Be blessed and keep the videos coming!
