About Annie

How ChiChi Started

Since I was a baby, my family has called me ChiChi. Everyone in the family had nicknames, and while “Annie” is my legal name, to them I’ve always just been ChiChi. The name stuck, and now it’s become the heart of my brand.

Growing up, I was surrounded by creativity. My mom and grandma made clothing creations for me—especially during school spirit weeks. I still remember asking for a shirt covered in flowers, and by the next day, my mom had it done. The sound of her sewing machine was the soundtrack of my childhood, making my imagination into something real.

I’ve always had a creative sense of style, but I could never quite find the pieces I envisioned. So, I decided to take matters into my own hands—literally—and began making clothes for myself. When people noticed and complimented my one-of-a-kind pieces, I realized others appreciated my creations too. That’s how ChiChibyChiChi was born: a brand I hold close to my heart. It’s more than clothing to me; it’s a vintage-inspired, coastal cottage closet, filled with one-of-a-kind pieces that I hope others will appreciate just as much as I do. Every piece is made with intention and designed to feel timeless for you.

love, ChiChi

FAQ

All handmade/upcycled garments require extra care due to vintage fabrics & upholstery materials.

It should always be washed separately from other clothing due to its delicate nature & to prevent fading.

Items are highly recommended to be washed inside out, on the delicate cycle, with cold water. (If possible, I personally suggest hand washing). Allow the items to lay flat/hang to dry. To release wrinkles, a steamer works best. Refrain from using an iron.

Note: All soft linen fabrics naturally fray over time due to their delicate fibers (this is normal). To help with further fraying, you can easily trim them with scissors. Customers are responsible for proper care after purchase.

This collection is born from my most inspired moments—pieces crafted in the flow of creativity and offered just as they are.

These one-off pieces are one-of-a-kind *not made to order* carefully handcrafted from vintage and upcycled fabrics. Because of the rarity of these fabrics, I may be able to recreate a design, but no two will ever be exactly the same — each carries its own unique character and charm.

Look forward to new creations and returning designs each month xx
