|September/October 2020
BETSY BLANCETT NACRELLI, owner of Collections by Joya, entered 2020 on a high note.
The brand’s sales were up, and she decided it was time to expand her small Dogtown studio into a larger showroom. A four-month-long search across the city, involving visits to more than 30 properties, culminated in a spot on Locust, where Blancett Nacrelli fell in love. Then the stay-at-home orders forced the brand’s wholesale customers (80 percent of the business) to close their doors. Suddenly, a big move didn’t seem like such a good idea.
“I went back and forth,” Blancett Nacrelli recalls. “I eventually decided that the key for us was really going to be moving forward and looking to the future.”

Cut from the Same Cloth
“Turkey Tracks” is a 19th-century quiltmaking pattern that has the appearance of little wandering feet. Patterns like the tracks, and their traditions and myths, have been passed down through the generations, from their frontier beginnings to today, where a generation of makers has embraced the material as a means of creating something new. Olivia Jondle is one such designer. Here, she’s taken an early turkey track-pattern quilt, cut it into various shapes, and stitched the pieces together, adding calico and other fabric remnants as needed. The result is a trench coat she calls the Pale Calico Coat. Her designs are for sale at The Rusty Bolt, Jondle’s small-batch fashion company based in St. Louis. —SAMANTHA STEVENSON
