Why I created JCC

As a young child, my most vivid memories that sparked my love for fashion, accessories, and the artistry of color and design were inspired by my beautiful mother. Even with the demands of raising ten children, me being the youngest, she always took immense pride in her appearance. Her style would effortlessly shift from sophisticated and elegant to playful, vibrant, eclectic, and comfortably fashionable. I can still recall the image of her carefully painting her nails a deep cherry red, then matching that with rouge and lipstick to perfectly complement her outfit. Once dressed, with her hair styled just right, she would pick the perfect shoes and, finally, add the final touch—whether it was a hat, gloves, a bracelet, a necklace, a hair clip, or a brooch. She was then ready to go, whether to church, a bridge game, dinner with family, or simply to greet my dad with a kiss when he came home from work.

Watching her pay attention to every little detail, always finishing her look with that final touch, deeply influenced me. It sparked my passion for accessories and the belief that these small details can elevate an outfit. Driven by this inspiration, I created my accessory line, The Final Touch, where, at Jules Cottage Creations, I strive to bring that same sense of elegance, personality, and vibrancy.  By upcycling and repurposing vintage and timeless treasures, I desire to provide others with the perfect accessories that add that essential finishing detail to their unique styles.
