Vagabond Ruth was born from a desire make beautiful things and make things beautiful.
When pregnant with my little girl I struggled to find decorations for the bedroom she would share with her big brother that I felt embodied the freedom and whimsy I hoped for my daughter. The pink fluffy stuff I found in stores just did not feel like “her” to me. I searched for items that were unique, beautiful, and functional and the rest I made. While sewing together wild coral and turquoise fabrics with a vintage pillowcase embroidered with mustard flowers, I knew I was creating a space for only my Corinne.
This is the same mindset I bring to my work with Vagabond Ruth. I design for the individual. No two rooms, homes, families or handmade pieces are the same. My reverence for individuality and uniqueness is present in every project.
Vagabond RUTH
I am Niñon. I am a maker, creative, nest-building mama to many beings with freckles, feathers and fur. Should you need me I can be found barefoot, making something with my kids, planting succulents in the ground, making dinner for whomever I can round up, or zenning out on my sewing machine listening to music a little too loudly. I have paint on my hands, leaves in my hair and stains on the front of my jeans from where someone hugged me after eating chocolate.
My passion and my magic is making houses feel like a home.
Who is Vagabond?
Well, Vagabond is me. And my children, whose creativity and imaginations delight me daily. I grew up internationally and am inspired by travel, adventures big and small, literature, art, music, people and ideas.
Who is Ruth?
Ruth is my lovely grandmother. She was there when I got my first sewing machine on my 11th birthday and patiently taught me how to sew. She was a maker, creator, and a can-do kind of mama who, as I learned later on in life, also happened to be wonderfully fun to chat with on the phone. My Gram is the spirit of togetherness that envelops and inspires Vagabond Ruth.
