As we move into the holiday season, I’ve found myself reflecting on the journey of building my handbag line — a journey that has been anything but predictable. While creating a brand I love has been such a fulfilling chapter in my life, it has also been one of the hardest. None of it would be possible without the people who have supported me.
Today, I want to say thank you! Because every step is better when it’s shared.
To My Amazing Customers
You are the reason I do what I do.
Every time you choose to carry one of my handbags — whether it’s the Mini Jayce, Cameron, Brandie, or any piece we lovingly design — you’re not just supporting a small business. You’re becoming part of a story built on craftsmanship, intention, and heart.
Your messages, your photos, your excitement when you open your packages… they mean more than you know. I’m grateful for every single one of you who has supported this brand, shared it with friends, or simply believed in what I am building.
To the Women Who Lift Other Women
This brand exists because of women who support each other.
From the pop-up hosts who have opened their doors, to the stylists, creators, and marketing experts who have shared their wisdom, to every woman who has posted, recommended, encouraged, or collaborated — thank you! Your generosity and support have shaped this brand in ways I’ll never forget.
There is nothing more powerful than women supporting women, and I’m continually inspired by the strength and kindness that surround me. Thank you!
To My Family and Friends
My heart is full because of you.
You are the people who keep me grounded, encouraged, and remind me of why I started this journey. You celebrate the wins, and more importantly, you help carry me through the tough days. Your love and steady support are the quiet backbone of this brand — the part no one sees, but I feel every single day.
Taking an idea and building it into something is not easy. There are moments when doubt creeps in, but because of you, I keep going. You bring the joy, laughter, late-night pep talks, and endless belief that fuel everything I do. Thank you!
To Everyone I’ve Met Along the Way
From Spain, the Philippines, to Dallas, from artisans to customers, from collaborators to new friends — thank you for being part of my story. Every conversation, every idea shared, every bit of encouragement… it all matters.
My brand is about the people and relationships I have built throughout my journey — real and meaningful ones.
As I look ahead, I’m filled with excitement for what’s next, but I’m equally grateful for everything (and everyone) that brought me to this moment. Thank you for allowing me to design pieces that become part of your journey as much as they are part of mine.
Here’s to the season of gratitude… and to carrying beauty and purpose into the days ahead. Happy Thanksgiving!
