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 to farmer's workers and their families, 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.

   

what clients say

Vibrant and well-made. I love these leggings! The fabric is substantial with very vibrant colors. The fit is perfect. I receive many compliments when I wear these leggings

-Laura B.

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

Their customer service is top-notch, and they kept me informed throughout the process, which I greatly appreciated. Moreover, the turnaround time was impressive.
