For robeIn the beginning of this project, Laima didn't have much to work with...just some blurry screenshots of Bilbo's robe/smoking jacket from The Hobbit and vague descriptions from me. Somehow, she was able to go from simply reproducing a concept into creating a piece of art. Unbelievable quality...this is the kind of garment that can be passed down for generations. Laima's attention to detail is second to none...little things like the embroidered initials and pockets I didn't ask for or expect, but she went to amazing lengths. I cannot recommend her highly enough and hope to dream up other projects that I can send her way.

For beltLaima gaudi design is one of the few great designers left where actual work ethics are personaly and professionaly maintained... for instance, laima made a belt which had letters painted on it, she than took a nail and scratched the paint deliberately to test its durability, she than proceeded tomake an alteration to it so it wouldn't come off... that's quality and old fashioned craftsmanship that most people don't care about anymore. Most people are only concerned with profits, laima is concerned with quality, that's true dedication to a trade, not to mention the fact that laima is extremely honest and hard working, she sees to every little detail in order to make you the best product, also she will bring up important things to you that you have not even considered...
