TELL MORE ABOUT THE BAGS

The idea for the bags came from Brett’s growing up in L.A., and her hobby of shopping vintage as a teenager. The process for making them is quite complicated, it is actually an art form. You will hear more about this in our interview. There have been cheap copies made, as always happens when someone designs something that is unique, that becomes wildly popular.and covetable. The fact about that is that carrying the copies never feels the same. These bags are meant be carried for a lifetime, collected like the pieces of art they are; they aren’t throw away objects, they are treasures.  

Her bags have been worn by Cher, Katy Perry, Taylor Swift, Kerry Washington, Kate Hudson, Eva Chen, Chiara Ferragni, Anna Dello Russo, Leandra Medine, Alexa Chung, Lily Aldridge, Kate Hudson, Kris Jenner and SO MANY more! The question becomes, who HASN’T worn her statement clutches?!

WHAT ABOUT FLOWER?

In our conversation with Brett, she also explains the story behind how “Flower”, which is a Cannabis accessory line, came about and where it’s headed. It’s modern times people! 

We are excited to share her story with you in our latest podcast episode.
