The Designer Behind Elara West: Calley Andrews
The Woman Behind Elara West: Calley Andrews
Elara West was founded by Calley Andrews — a designer, veteran, and entrepreneur whose nearly two decades of experience in the fashion and manufacturing industries have shaped the brand’s unwavering commitment to craftsmanship, authenticity, and purpose.
From Service to Style
As a proud U.S. military veteran, Calley brings discipline, precision, and resilience into every aspect of her work. The same standards that guided her in service now guide her in design — where every seam, silhouette, and finish reflects her belief that excellence is built through consistency, not chance.
That mindset is the foundation of Elara West, where every collection embodies strength and grace in equal measure.
Nearly Two Decades of Expertise
Before launching Elara West, Calley spent almost twenty years mastering the technical and creative sides of apparel production — from product development and patternmaking to small-batch manufacturing and brand consulting.
Through her company, Sew Studio LLC, she has helped countless emerging brands bring their ideas to life. Today, that same studio serves as the production home for Elara West, ensuring every garment is Made in Texas with exceptional quality and attention to detail.
A Texas Legacy, A Modern Vision
Elara West was created to celebrate confident women who lead with purpose and command with style. Calley’s designs combine timeless silhouettes with modern luxury — pieces that are both wearable and statement-making, crafted to last and designed to empower.
Her mission is clear: to show that luxury can be Texas-made, ethically produced, and deeply personal.
Leading with Purpose
As a veteran- and woman-owned business, Calley Andrews continues to champion integrity and sustainability within the American fashion industry. She’s redefining what it means to build a brand — one rooted in quality, transparency, and the belief that true success is measured not only by what you create, but by how you create it.
“Lead with Style. Command with Grace.™”
That isn’t just a tagline — it’s the principle Calley Andrews lives by, and the standard that defines every Elara West design.
