Welcome to AWE

AWE, Annette Wallander Designs

I met Annette, The founder of Annette Ellen Designs at a horse show in late 2017. She had a booth displaying and marketing her very beautiful custom Show coats and Shadbellies. She also offered her line of ready to wear ladies' fashion. I was immediately drawn to the great service, quality and innovation of her brand. We spoke several times during the show and continued to communicate over the following year. As her brand grew and SET refined the method of launching international brands a partnership was formed. We launched the line of AWE show coats in late 2018 and began selling and promoting the line, made in NYC during the year. 
                                     
We are very very excited to be launching AWE in North America this summer! We invite you to experience all this brand has to offer and we look forward to making it available at retailers near you. For now please purchase direct on our site.
