Leigh Reveley Designs A design company that specializes in re-purposed antique textiles and unique design details for the home. I search the world for amazing fibers.

Leigh Reveley has been surrounded by textiles all of her life. Her mother is one of the premier textile conservators in the country. At the age of twelve, her mother curated a Dior exhibit for the Louisiana State Museum. It was then, while feeling and gazing upon these Dior gowns that Leigh decided she wanted to make beautiful things. She learned how to sew at a young age on her grandmother’s 40 lb “portable” sewing machine from the 1940s, which she used throughout her youth to make her own clothes. After majoring in Costume Design at Mary Washington College, she went on to FIT in New York to obtain a degree in fashion. For over a decade she followed in her mother’s footsteps and restored vestments from the Vatican, Empress Josephine’s coronation gown, clothing belonging to the First Lady, Masonic Aprons from the early 1800s, and other amazing textiles. It is from these projects that she draws so much inspiration for her current designs for Leigh Reveley Designs. She loves being able to incorporate the richness of the past into modern adornments. She resides in both Houston and New Orleans, leaving her heart in one place and her soul in the other. Please direct inquiries to [email protected]
