Copious

Copious is the brainchild of Carissa who traces her love for fashion back to a vivid childhood memory: watching her grandmother meticulously drape pleats for the perfect set of curtains. That early glimpse into craftsmanship foreshadowed a journey that began in 2010, when Copious was officially born with a focus on couture gowns and wedding dresses. Over time, the brand's aesthetic evolved, embracing a more casual style characterized by colorful dresses, floral elbow patches, ponchos, and a commitment to slow-made fashion.

At its heart, Copious reflects a passion for creating timeless, treasured pieces while navigating the challenges of balancing creativity and business. The designer’s journey also sparked a deep awareness of the environmental impact of the fashion industry. This led to a sustainable innovation: saving fabric scraps to craft the first bestseller, the Conscious Heart Sweater.

Copious embodies a love for thoughtful design, sustainability, and creativity. With every piece, the brand champions slow-made fashion and a mission to create wearable treasures for conscious consumers.
