About

Based in Nova Scotia’s Annapolis Valley, Erma’s Estate Art and Apparel was established in 2023 by artist/owner Theresa Vohanka. Theresa is a lifelong artist and self-taught sewist whose fascination with discarded and aged materials has led her to the world of vintage and reclaimed textiles. Theresa repurposes textiles that are forgotten, damaged, or headed to a landfill with the goal of not only preserving their beauty and history but showcasing it. She sees fashion as a potent mode of self-expression that speaks to who you are and what you value. Made sustainably, ethically, and with great care, Theresa hopes you find your unique and brilliant self in this one-of-a-kind apparel.

 Erma's Estate is based in Mi’kma’ki, the ancestral and unceded territory of the Mi’kmaq People.
