Item Description

John Robshaw Silk Ikat Chevron Pillow from Maude Woods.

Carrie Davich’s passion for mixing new furnishings with vintage pieces began within her own Pasadena home. She long considered opening a home furnishings store, imagining it as a perfect creative outlet for her visions and inspirations around home design and collecting.

In summer 2007 Davich was in Washington State when she walked into a shop similar to what she’d imagined opening herself. The proprietor said, “If you have the eye, don’t wait. It’s so much fun.” From that moment Davich began to pursue her dream in earnest, culminating with the opening of Maude Woods: Artful Living in Pasadena, Calif., in October 2009.

A graduate of the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising, Davich spent ten years focusing her creative energies as a clothing designer. In the 1980s, she co-owned the Los Angeles clothing company L.A. Express. The company produced hand-painted and embellished socks, leggings, and T-shirts that were sold in such retail stores as Judy’s Boutique and Nordstroms. The embellished leggings became particularly popular; knocked off by other companies they became a fashion style emblematic of the 1980s. L.A. Express also designed and produced better dresses.
