About Us
Named after a highly coveted garden rose that can never be mass produced, Distant Drums seeks to keep clothing conscious and style small-batch. In the industry, “small batch” means less than 500 units are made per design per run. At Distant Drums, most pieces are one of less than 200. Our boutique is a curated collection of pieces with stories and meaning, from artisans all over the world with a similar mission to push more thoughtful fashion.

About the Founder
Kelly Mark ventured into the world of entrepreneurship in 2018, opening her floral design business where she creates art for styled shoots, weddings, and beyond. By trade, she has a Master's Degree in Occupational Therapy where she's spent almost a decade listening to patients' stories and helping them navigate new ones.
