Chris and Dena.
The founders, the owners, the makers, the shippers, the photographers, the designers, the dreamers. The ones sweeping the floors at midnight and back in the workshop at sunrise. Every piece that leaves Westerly has fingerprints on it. Blood, sweat, long nights, hard conversations, laughter, and a whole lot of love stitched into every seam.
Two years ago, we were living full time in a bus with our babies, chasing a dream that felt a little crazy at times. Somewhere along the way, we broke down in Tucson and life rerouted us toward Sedona, Arizona. What felt like a setback turned into the biggest blessing of our lives.
We built a workshop from the ground up. A place filled with music, leather scraps, coffee cups, sewing machines running all day, and people we genuinely love being around. Today, we have three incredible people working alongside us who have become such an important part of this journey and this little family we’ve created.
Some days are exhausting. Some days are uncertain. But we never take for granted how lucky we are to wake up every day and create with our hands beside one another.
Westerly was built on grit, creativity, and believing that beautiful things take time. And somehow, through all the chaos and hard work, we built a life we once only talked about inside that old bus.
We feel incredibly blessed to be here. 🤍
