real people wearing real secret lentil clothes.

carina in Secret Lentil
"I really like being naked. In fact, I prefer naked. But when the constraints of society crowd in and I must wear clothing; I choose my secretlentil. When I found Helen and her sculpted clothing art a few years back, I was thrilled. I wanted to dance. I did.

I still am dancing. secretlentil clothes are comfy, colorful, well made, unique and goshdarnit they make me happy! Thank you Helen, for all that you do, and may all of your lentils be secret, forever."

"'I think San D is losing it, she's wearing her clothes inside out!' - or so whispered the school secretary to another. Fifty percent or more of my wardrobe is Secret Lentil. Why? Whimsy, comfort, color, cut and concept. Simply put, each of Helen's pieces is art, sculpture to be exact, and I am the art teacher. I need clothes that are comfortable, colorful, playful and above all, original. It's a match made in art heaven."

nina at playtime
 "i live out in the middle of nowhere, on a place called firefly road. it's magical and mysterious here, and i see many wonderful things just by sitting here at my wall of windows, looking out to the mountains and beyond. i wander, too, through woods and by the streams, looking up and looking down, looking all around.

the drawbacks of being so ensconced? shopping for anything, needless to say, let alone some decent clothes. when i discovered secret lentil, i flipped - and snatched up two pieces before they disappeared. they do that, you know: they disappear, and reappear in closets all over this world. mine come out to play, and come out for walks, and come out when i'm feeling dapper, when i'm meeting a friend for tea, when i'm feeling like doing nothing but sitting quietly and staring out the window with my cup of tea in hand..."

"secretlentil clothing is my defense against the dreary doldrums of the workaday world ... any designer that can elicit compliments from one person and then cause another to look at me like a dog that heard a funny noise is the designer for me! It's effortless, quirky and guilt-free style. I LOVE my secretlentil. I wouldn't be caught naked with it!! (well, cuz if i was naked and i had it, it'd be on me, and then i wouldn't be naked...er...nevermind.)"

"I stalked Secret Lentil for many a day, for I knew I wanted to own my very own one-of-a-kind creation from this very special artist. When I saw this funky and fabulous fuchsia shrug, I pounced like a rabid lemur and lo, it was mine! The joy and energy of Helen’s delightful personality is in every stitch of her playful pieces. Fun, comfortable, versatile, and so very unique! Secret Lentil’s clothes are perfect for adorning the exuberant spirit! I love my shrug, and look forward to my next Secret Lentil purchase!"
