The Beginning
After the birth of her first child, Amelia, Khanh received her very first sewing machine — a gift from her mother-in-law. With it, she began designing clothes for her daughter, dreaming of pieces that were both timeless and delicate. At first, she focused on creating hair bows, inspired by the classic and dainty styles she could never quite find in stores.
With leftover fabric from her personal projects, she began listing extra bows for sale through a small online shop. It was a simple way to work from home and contribute to her growing family’s income. What began as a modest bow shop soon evolved — slowly expanding into handmade children’s clothing and attracting like-minded parents drawn to her thoughtful, understated style.
And so, KHANH was born — a boutique brand rooted in Santa Barbara, California, built from creativity, care, and a mother’s love.
Khanh spent five years creating handmade clothing and accessories and welcoming customers by appointment. As her work and following continued to grow, she outgrew the space and moved into her first 600 sq ft commercial studio to expand her offerings and create an in-person shopping experience.
After the first year, Khanh began carrying thoughtfully chosen toys and books to complement her handmade pieces—perfect for baby showers and birthday gifting. Soon, customers started asking for boys’ apparel, something Khanh didn’t sew herself, which led to carefully curating additional brands.
Little by little, the shop continued to grow beyond its original walls, eventually outgrowing the space and evolving into the curated children’s and women’s boutique it is today.
The New Location
After four incredible years of growth in our cozy 600 sq ft studio, we took the next exciting step in our journey. In early 2024, we began building our new store — a thoughtfully designed space that reflects the heart and vision of KHANH.
Located just off Highway 62 in Blanchard, our new home features a 1,200 sq ft retail space where customers can explore our curated collections in an elevated, welcoming environment. Upstairs, the space houses KHANH Studio and our office, creating a unified, creative hub where ideas come to life — all under one roof.
This new chapter allows us to serve both our local community and visiting shoppers with greater ease and intention. Whether you’re looking for a timeless piece for your little one, a special gift, or something beautiful for yourself, our new space offers an experience as thoughtful as the items we carry.
We’re deeply proud of how far we’ve come — and endlessly grateful to each of you who’ve been part of the KHANH story. We can’t wait to welcome you into our new space and continue growing, together.
