Step Inside: Our Story


Hello, I’m Lauren — founder and designer behind Holland Street..

I founded Holland Street with a simple but powerful idea: to create expressive garments that celebrate the love of print.

 Design is deeply personal. What we choose to wear — and what we bring into our homes — shapes how we feel and move through the world.

That’s why I create garments and fabrics that connect with you on a personal level, elevating comfort, confidence, and creativity.

Holland Street is where textile artistry meets inclusive fashion, and every piece begins with a story.
