About

Based in Nova Scotia’s Annapolis Valley, Erma’s Estate Art and Apparel was established in 2023 by artist/owner Theresa Vohanka. The estate is a place to shop and explore thoughtfully made apparel and art. Erma’s appreciation for bygone aesthetics, along with her fascination with discarded and distressed materials, is seen throughout the estate. The shop offers handcrafted one-of-a-kind apparel made from vintage and thrifted textiles. Each creation highlights the beauty and history imbued in these materials. The gallery space showcases Erma’s visual art and music. Erma welcomes you to enjoy this multi-media landscape.

The Shop

All apparel and accessories are handmade by Erma using textiles that have lived previous lives. It just so happens that reusing these beautiful materials helps minimize textile waste in our landfills as well. Each piece is made to be enjoyed for a long time.
