'Tis the Season for Sisters

Onesie upon a time, an idea for a clothing line was born. What emerged after casual conversation, elaborate brainstorming, and one solid business plan, ultimately became not just a product, but a way of life. Less than a year ago Warrior Within Designs announced herself to the world. Promising onesies, everlasting sisterhood, and a new understanding of fashion, culture, and freedom, she has made a lasting impact on those she has touched. Today, she now has voice.

Welcome to Warrior Within Designs' first blog entry! We are so very excited to finally use this avenue to communicate with the world, and we thank you for being the first to read on. We want to achieve many things through this blog. First off, we hope it acts as a vehicle by which we express the true voice of Warrior Within Designs - everything from who we are, to our inspirations, our preoccupations, and everything in between. Secondly, we aim to provide YOU - our friends and supporters - a forum by which you feel comfortable contributing to. Your insights and comments are valuable to us so please don't hesitate to let us know your thoughts on anything at all and of course, on what we can do to improve as a company. We are eager to give ourselves a voice for the first time and are antsy to hear yours, too...

Today marks a special day in the history of Warrior Within Designs. On this particular day, Christmas Eve, we reflect on what is important to us. With our busy schedules, the daily hustle, and the difficulties of living and thriving in a city like San Francisco, we admit it is tough to find time to sit down and appreciate what it is and WHO we are thankful for. Today, we have chosen to make ample time for this discussion and have decided to dedicate our first-ever blog to our beloved sisters, both of who will be leaving us soon.

Abby Fritz and Sarah Tabia are two of the most special people in this world. Both women have graced us with their extraordinary presence in San Francisco over these past few months and soon, will be going their own seperate ways into the world. Abby to Africa and Sarah to New York City! As their two older sisters, we are both thrilled and at the same time, terrified to see them off. We have learned so much about them and about ourselves while we've been together and we cannot express enough, just how proud we are of them. Sarah and Abby, you have both inspired us, helping us grow, and despite the complexities that come with the territory of sisterhood, we support and love you more than you'll ever know. May you both thrive in your new environments as you seek a deeper understanding of this world and this thing we call life. Come back to us, stronger and wiser beyond your years, remembering that there is nothing to fear. You are no longer our younger sisters and we are no longer seperated by age. Rather, we are friends. We are equals. Please take with you the lessons we have all learned and may you build upon them as you begin this new chapter in life. We heart you.


In short, 'tis the season for sisterhood, love, and of course, Onesies! There is SO MUCH to be thankful for this holiday season that it would take writing a novel to express it all. It has been an incredible year for Warrior Within Designs and we are grateful for everyone who has helped bring us to this extraordinary place as a company. As we continue to grow and expand, we will always remember the simple things that brought us together - the love of fashion and the importance of friendship and sisterhood. It is these ingredients that breathe life into our company everyday, and it is the fuel that maintains our ongoing fire.
