What started as a pandemic project for Mara Novembre ended in a popular, trend-setting fashion brand beloved by many. Allure November was originally founded in 2012 within the confinements of Mara’s college dorm room. As a self-taught designer making headbands for herself, the side-hustle evolved into sewing turbans for her entire campus clientele. Before she even knew it, Mara could sew just about anything from scratch. After a lengthy hiatus, things have taken a new direction that has received a warm consumer response, and Allure Novembre as we know it today was birthed!
