History
At 27 I set out to hike the Pacific Crest Trail in 2013 and no one had the exact gear I needed. Nervous and questioning my skill, I put my head down and sewed the backpack for my 2,665-mile journey. Then I walked... for 101 days, completing the continuous footpath from Mexico to Canada. I connected every single day to that intentional hand-made backpack that was everything I needed and nothing that I didn't. Hiking really far was powerful for me, but more powerful was realizing that this thing I had on my back - It wasn't just a part of my life, it was a damn extension of my life and gave me daily joy. Now my obsession is to create beautiful heritage goods that will add value to your life as you choose to live it, however you want to show up - every. friggin'. day. The wild magic of the trail infuses our designs and we craft them to last lifetimes.
