When you think of Alabama, you probably may think hot, but you certainly don't think haute. Birmingham born and breed - Jodi Arnold's distinct vintage style and immaculate attention to detail has put her Alabama label - Mint on the fashion radar. Jodi has been sewing since she received her first machine at the age of 13; took lessons at the Singer store at the mall, and shopped every weekend at Roberta's Fabric Store. Her Southern roots still show in her designs that were born over a cup of tea in Paris. Jodi has been an illustrator for Simplicity Patterns and a designer for Danskin. She drew on this experience to turn her pipe dream into a reality.
