Making a Difference one Stitch at a Time

Meet the Founder & Designer, Elena Carné

Elena's inspiring journey as a fashion designer began at a young age in Venezuela, crafting her own bathing suits and eventually establishing her first sewing business, Puka's Swimwear, in 1995. After immigrating to the United States as a political refugee, she obtained fashion and business degrees in Miami and later founded T31 Apparel (Former Tepuy Activewear) in Americus, Georgia, focusing on athleisure wear and promoting hope and positivity.

 

Amid the challenges of the pandemic in 2020, Elena's determination led her to pivot her business to manufacturing facemasks, donating over 35,000 of them to various locations worldwide. This transition paved the way for T31™ Design House, which aims to be the go-to destination in Americus, offering comprehensive product development and cut-and-sew solutions as a contract manufacturer and full-package design and sewing house.

 

In addition to her business pursuits, Elena is committed to giving back to the community. She provides training and sewing classes for

young women from low-income backgrounds in our community, equipping them with essential skills to overcome their circumstances and build a better future for themselves. Elena's passion for fashion, entrepreneurship, and philanthropy drives her to make a meaningful impact in the lives of others through T31™ Design House.

-Kelly T.B.

Perfect fit and fun pattern. I love these!

-Jackie Cushman

I just want to tell you that I wore the leggings I picked up from you at the Expo Friday for the Albany Snicker's Marathon Saturday. And those were some of the best leggings I've ever ran in. They stayed in place for 26.2 miles of running through the streets of Albany, didn't cause any chaffing and was so comfortable, not to mention cute. Awesome job. I'll definitely be getting some more

-Angela McCorkle Gattie

GREAT! Best workout pants I have ever owned. They fit well. Look great. They don’t move or slide when exercising

-Alex Hernandez

Elena at T31 Design House was friendly and attentive, listening to my specific requirements and offering valuable suggestions to ensure the best outcome. Their customer service is top-notch, and they kept me informed throughout the process, which I greatly appreciated. Moreover, the turnaround time was impressive. Despite the complexity of the alterations, they completed the work promptly without compromising on quality. I must also mention the reasonable pricing for the high-quality work they provided. The investment was well worth it, considering the exceptional craftsmanship and the heartfelt care they put into their work.
