JORDAN BRANDON ☆ J.D. BRANDON⁠
⁠
Originally trained as a pharmacist, Jordan’s path took a turn in January 2020, when he discovered leatherworking through videos of artisans crafting beautiful pieces. What began as a curiosity quickly became an obsession when he realized that sewing leather by hand gave him the same sense of fulfillment he had growing up.⁠
⁠
“I have not had a formal mentor, but I have learned a lot by studying the work of others, breaking down what makes great design, great branding, and great craftsmanship. I have spent countless hours analyzing how the best in the industry started, built their legacies, and turned their work into something bigger than just a product." ⁠

HEATHER DAWSON ☆ HEATHER LYNN CASHMERE⁠
⁠
Founded by Heather Dawson, a school teacher turned entrepreneur with a passion for high-end textiles, the brand was born from her desire to create luxurious yet ethically crafted cashmere pieces. ⁠
⁠
“A major turning point came in my first year of teaching. My life was all mapped out—I was planning to become a school psychologist, rediscovering my love of music, singing in a choir, and fully immersed in my newfound passion for kundalini yoga. Then, I had my first three strokes. I went from 100 to 0. My world, which had always been driven by ambition, movement, and productivity, suddenly required stillness.⁠
