Back Story:

Oakenfoot – Celebrating Renaissance Faire and Living History

I’m Linda, the maker, the designer, head seamstress, CEO of Oakenfoot.

We have a solid teams of excellent seamstresses, a professional welder, cutting room team, and general crafters. 

A long time ago I was introduced to the world of sewing. My professional back story started as a sample pattern maker for 3 years in Los Angeles garment district. Then went into business for 15 years doing Porsche upholstery with many concourse de elegance first place winning Porsche cars. Also enjoyed making many classic Faire shoes, the buffalo leather moccasins, all custom fit with the duct tape cast up, as a booth owner at Southern and Northern California Renaissance Faire. Today, team Oakenfoot makes amazing Oakenfoot Faire Tents for use at Renaissance Faires and outdoor spaces Nationally.  

My partner, Carlos, was introduced to leather braiding and maritime knot work as a kid by his dad. They had practical use for this craft: horse tack and sailor riggings. The subtle art of braiding is in the weave. It’s simply beautiful. He enjoys back braiding and eye braiding the ropes that are attached to the corners of Oakenfoot Faire Tents. His Muggle job, a public school teacher, continues and we appreciate him cross training new rope weavers for Oakenfoot.

All Oakenfoot products are detailed and carefully crafted. Seams clean and double stitched, steel is professionally welded, and hardware is marine quality. 

We do it right. Team Oakenfoot Rocks.

Oakenfoot Faire Tents are an investment that will hold re-sale value, are up at most all Renaissance Festivals and Faire events. They are visible and colorful. Easy identified across your event marketplace and draw your customers back to your booth each year.  They hold up to weather. My husband enjoys year round relaxing on the hammock that is attached to the inside steel corners of our patio shade Oakenfoot Faire tent. His happy man pose included reading and grabbing a power nap.
