In 2009, she moved to a studio in Manhattan's Garment District and began production on a larger scale.

She incorporates traditional tribal artisan patterns from New Africa, medieval European iconography and Mexican folk art.[6]

In May 2019, Love sold a 80% stake in the brand to RedLuxury Group.[7] In July 2024, Love bought back the brand in partnership with former RedLuxury Group chief operating officer Alex Henriques and his wife, Stephany Sleima.[8]
