THE PASSION BEHIND SHEILA ELAINE

Sheila Elaine is an energetic young accessories company with a passion for creating edgy and elegant accessories and clothing. Our design process begins by pondering a new piece of fabric for all of its possibility and potential. We then envision design concepts and work to utilize the elements of fabric, texture and color in unexpected ways. In a very real sense, our pieces are collages: novel arrangements of shapes designed to work together to achieve dramatic effect.
Sarah Wagner is the Founder and Designer of Sheila Elaine. The Sheila Elaine line was named in memory of her two very fashionable aunts, Sheila and Elaine Sarah was raised in Memphis, Tennessee (home of Elvis Presley) amidst a family of talented amateur artists and musicians. After graduating college with a B.A. in communications from Yeshiva University, she spent time working in advertising before marrying and moving to Paris, France. She has been vastly inspired by her world travels, experiences and the art of her family members, to keep adding to the Sheila Elaine repertory.
Shelbee Teller is the Head of Sales & Production for Sheila Elaine. For the past three years, Shelbee has been an integral part of the design process, and manages Sheila Elaine’s Production and Sales teams. Shelbee has taken Sheila Elaine from bolts of fabric on a New Jersey dining room table to boutiques all over the world.
