PRESENCE & PLAY
Playing like a kid reminds me who I am.. it reconnects me to the joy that fuels everything I do.
Not for a reward or achievement. It’s loving with no expectations, trying without the need to be perfect.
Curious. Unfiltered. Messy.
That’s the beauty of play.. it’s never about the outcome.. it’s the aliveness you feel while doing it.
So maybe that’s the secret.. do it for the joy of doing.
True luxury lives in the present moment..
the rare gift of being exactly where you are, leaving the door open for magic to come in & 𝓉𝑜 𝒻𝑒𝑒𝓁 𝒾𝓉.

Thanks to everyone who came to celebrate this new chapter for @papasweater / @samanthamyerstudio at 1350 Abbot Kinney Blvd. 👏🏼
I started my fashion journey as a wardrobe stylist in NY & quickly realized through design that I had a story to tell. Moving to LA allowed all my creative paths to weave together into something bigger.. PAPÀSWEATER.
What started as a single product, inspired by my Papa’s sweater, grew into a brand that stands for creativity, sustainability, authenticity, & community.
Designing the space was about telling this story of connection. From the clothing, to the structures they hang from, to the chains from the ceiling (once belts, now bridges), couch covers made from scrap fabric — every piece spoke to the deep roots of togetherness that make PAPÀSWEATER what it is.
Every stitch, every scrap, every piece has a story. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for being part of it. Can’t wait to create even more together. ❤️.

✨NEW PRODUCT ALERT: PÀPÀSWEATER.
As a stylist.. I’ve been crafting the perfect wardrobe for years that I have been organically translating into designs. Out of ALL the clothes I have in my closet.. what I wear most, BY FAR, is my Papa’s Sweater. It’s cozy, warm enough to be worn as a jacket, big enough to be worn as a dress, you can sleep in it but then throw on some boots and look super chic, vintage details, and most importantly.. imbed with SO MUCH LOVE.
I took every single one of these attributes and made my very own PÀPÀSWEATER . Each of these have been made locally in Los Angeles by me and a handful of out-of- work seamstresses that were hit by the pandemic. Hand-sewn vintage buttons to give it a cool look and versatility. It possesses everything I value about product and style.
This project has been a true labor of love. It’s allowed me to energetically stay connected to my family across the country, especially sweet Nana who gave me all the fabrics and inspiration to learn to sew in the beginning of the pandemic, and my sister, my soul, who I shot these photos of at my favorite place in the entire world.
I hope when you wear this you feel the giant hug from your friends, family, loved ones.. or as Nana says.. ‘snug as a bug in a rug’.
Made with ❤️,
Sam
