The CAROLINE 1942 story is one that encompasses uniqueness and a relatable experience. CAROLINE 1942 is nicknamed after the late Mrs. Selbyen Caroline Miner, my grandmother. In her early years, she possessed a sense of style which motivated her to open her own boutique. Her shop was a place for women far and near to experience not just clothing and style but also a sisterly bond as they would each visit, relax while enjoying several cups of tea and snacks.Ha! It was a place of comfort and transformation. In 2007, unfortunately Caroline Miner passed away but her legacy was about to take off in a whole new, dynamic way which birthed CAROLINE 1942, 10 years later in the spring of 2017, a brand created "For The Timeless Woman" was born. Today CAROLINE 1942 would love to tell the story behind the brand and still create that sense of oneness with the women of the world with every design employed. This is our story!

Zara believes that art is a way of life, a way to escape to a world within.
