THANKS FOR STOPPING BY!
-WHO-
HELLO!! I'm Ashley Myers, owner of Trexi Design, a bridal design and tailoring studio in Glenside, Pennsylvania. I opened my design studio in May of 2025 after decades of working from my home studio with brides, wedding guests, mother of the bride/groom, prom attendees, competition dancers, etc.
Trexi Design is in my own community, just a few blocks from my home. I have two young teens who can walk to the shop to visit Mom and it is the perfect work-life balance. Opening my own design studio is a dream come truean independent business owner, couture bridal designer and tailor of formal gowns and specialty items like dance and performance costumes.
In 2004, upon graduating with a BS in Fashion Design from Philadelphia University, I started my first bespoke design business as an Eco-Conscious Fashion Designer. My mission was sustainable design and I designed eco-conscious bridal gowns, evening wear, organic wool coats and hemp fashions for men, women and babies. I founded and produced sustainable fashion shows for
the Mid-Atlantic Renewable Energy Association's "Pennsylvania Energy Festival" bringing awareness to event attendees and sharing the benefits of sustainable and fair trade brands and local shops.
My son was born in 2011 and my formal design business closed shortly there after. I continued designing and tailoring from my home design studio and fashion design remained a hobby. Now that my tiny humans have grown into big kids I have found the time to put my dreams on the forefront once again and TREXI Design was born in 2022!
-WHAT IS TREXI?-
The "TREXI" name comes from my generational roots,"Trexler", my mother's maiden name and the surname of my ancestors who settled Trexler Village, a historical landmark in rural Kempton, Pennsylvania. I was raised fifth generation in the home built by my great-great grandfather and my nieces are now sixth generation in the home.
Upon graduating from high school, I moved to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania to study fashion design at what is now Thomas Jefferson University. Though my family resides in the greater Philadelphia area and I haven't lived in Trexler for over 20 years, my heart has a special place for home and I wanted my design business to honor my Trexiler roots and "TREXI Design" felt like the right name to land on.
-TREXI MISSION-
My mission in life and business is to live in the present moment, try to be kind to ourselves and others, make the best of my circumstances, make a positive impact in my community and inspire others to live their best lives. My hope is that my customer feels confident, beautiful, happy and at ease during and after our appointments and especially when wearing a gown designed and tailored by myself at Trexi Design.
XO, ASHLEY
