I'm a Texan who has been in the fashion industry for 8+ years. My bags are unique in many ways: the different hardware, the details, and the contrasting leathers and treatments. My line is in it's 4th year of existence and I see good things happening this year.

Most often I use leather because I target the luxury market. My target age range is 25-55 years of age. My inspiration comes from a number of things: looking through architectural digest, running through the city and seeing all kinds of objects...shapes...etc., going to home depot, checking out an art gallery....I could go on and on. I believe the uniqueness of my bags are the different details I use....try to focus on things that I have not seen on the market before, and if I have, I try to tweak a bit.

First of all, I designed watchbands in high school that became rather popular. So when I was suspended from college my first year I packed my things up and moved to Dallas to attend fashion school. That is when my thoughts and dreams started with this business and my own label. One of a kind pieces with different leather treatments as well as unique hardware.

My first semester in fashion school...I would say the whole semester was a nightmare. Did not know how to sew, I found pattern making difficult, and just the whole process of a garment from start to finish was a little overwhelming to me. However, things have changed quite a bit since then.  My greatest achievement is not giving up. This is a tough business to break into and I believe I am finally starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel.
