Our Story

Hello, I’m Dua — the hands, heart, and creative mind behind The Clumsy Ballerina. I’m a mum of two little girls, and what began as a simple handmade bow for my daughter’s birthday has blossomed into a whimsical world where craftsmanship meets childhood daydreams.

I’ve always been a creative at heart, and after welcoming my second daughter, I found myself drawn to the delicate art of tambour embroidery. Each bow is thoughtfully designed, hand-tied, and embroidered by me, blending timeless elegance with a touch of playful charm.

The Clumsy Ballerina is a celebration of handmade artistry and meaningful details — a brand where creativity and nostalgia come together to create keepsakes designed to be treasured.

Would you like me to make this sound more poetic and romantic (like a luxury brand story), or keep this clean and slightly whimsical as it is?
