Our Story
In 2014, I extended a business trip to spend some extra time with my brother in London. Never on my radar at this point in my life was there a place on my vision board to start a fashion company online. My brother was always taking me to his new favorite spots, which prompted a trip down the Camden Market for shopping and Jamaican food. I of course shopped and did not drop while my brother watched from a distance. I suddenly stumbled upon a cart in the indoor market full of awesome leather bags and a very cool retro, vintage dressed woman named Odi Lynch. She was full of passion and spunk, excited to show me everything there was to see. She asked me where I was from and immediately mentioned wanting to get her bags to Venice Beach, CA. While the venture sounded exciting, I told her I wasn't her girl. I was busy trying to become a marketing big-wig. Well, 4 years later, I find myself in London making it my mission to find Odi Lynch, because guess what.... I wanted to sell her bags to Venice Beach and anyone else who will listen. It is a really interesting thing when others manifest your destiny. Odi Lynch knew my calling long before I did and I will never forget her for it!
