Who We Are

 

The Artist

Samantha Erler, illustrator and founder of Sam Louise & Co., is a creative visionary in the fashion and art industries. With a BFA in fashion design from the Savannah College of Art and Design, Sam refined her skills and developed a keen eye for the intersection of art and fashion. After gaining invaluable industry experience, she left her traditional fashion design role in 2020 to pursue a career in fashion illustration.

Blending design expertise and artistic talent, Sam launched Sam Louise, a fashion illustration brand. In 2021, it became Sam Louise & Co.—an e-commerce boutique now offering accessories, home decor, and gifts with fashion illustrations, bridal art, floral prints, and more. Though no longer just a fashion illustrator, Sam’s feminine use of color and contrast remains central, with her hand-drawn designs at the core of Sam Louise & Co.

The Art Process

Sam demonstrates a diverse approach in her creative process. With a preference for artist pens and professional markers, she employs bold strokes and vibrant colors to hand-illustrate her works. Additionally, Sam seamlessly incorporates digital tools, allowing her to enhance and refine the finer details while staying true to the authentic, handcrafted essence of her art.

The Brand

We began as a fashion illustration brand and have since grown into a lifestyle e-commerce boutique. What started as a simple concept has blossomed into a destination for those seeking high-quality products that seamlessly merge bold illustrations, feminine style, and vibrant prints into their everyday lives. From custom illustrations and art prints to accessories and home goods, our brand is dedicated to elevating the everyday experience with an infusion of art and style.
