Elizabeth Suzann

What Elizabeth Suzann does

Elizabeth Suzann is a handmade clothing and sewing education company founded in 2014 by Liz and operated as Elizabeth Suzann, LLC out of Murfreesboro, Tennessee. The company runs a cottage-industry, micro-manufacturing model in which garments are cut and sewn to order, primarily by a small team of remote sewists and two cutters based in Nashville, using a custom production workflow built on Notion that pulls orders from Shopify, groups them by fabric and style, and dispatches QR-coded instructions so remote workers can self-assign and track work. The core product portfolio has three pillars: made-to-order garments (Harper Tunic, Georgia Tee, Clyde Work Pant, Florence Pant and similar styles) in natural fibers priced from $198 to $348; digital sewing patterns and pattern bundles priced $18 to $114 for home sewists; and live plus on-demand sewing workshops priced $47 to $210, including a 15-hour Georgia Series course delivered through a Skool-based community. The company sells exclusively direct-to-consumer through its Shopify storefront, ships worldwide, has built a content ecosystem across Instagram, TikTok, Pinterest, Facebook, and a weekly blog/newsletter, and added The Annual Pass in 2024 to introduce recurring revenue. There is no external funding; Liz retains full ownership, and the customer base is entirely individual consumers.
