A Heritage of Love: Meet the Chosen Family Behind the Collection
When I set out to capture the new Fall/Winter collection, I wanted the images to feel like the goofy and gorgeous women being photographed. My handcrafted purses are built on a foundation of integrity and enduring quality, and I wanted the collection to reflect the lasting connections I value most. That meant inviting my beloved family—lifelong friends and relatives—to be the faces of A Heritage of Love. This is the crew that sees me at my best and worst, who provides the space to be bossy, collaborative, and free to change my mind. This support system is steeped in shared history: from my friend Alison, my partner in crime since first grade (and 4-H gardening champion!), to my incredibly creative Auntie Carla and my wickedly smart cousin Wyley. My hard-working Mom, with her tireless, tender heart for neglected animals, inspired the strength and graciousness I want the brand to embody. This authentic love is the "why" behind every piece I make.

That genuine connection is exactly what has been stitched into every new purse made with Pendleton Wool and Genuine Leather. The goal of this collection is not just to offer beautiful accessories, but to create an investment piece that carries your own unique story for years. Just as my family and friends stand for longevity and trust, so too does the pairing of durable leather and heritage wool. Each purse is built with the intention of lasting as long as a lifelong friendship, making them the perfect, meaningful gift for the women in your own life—the ones who truly matter. I invite you to explore the collection, and see the breathtaking photography that captures the warmth and durability of A Heritage of Love.
P.S. Even my photographer is one of my dearest friends making it sincerely a magical time with my ladies.
Much love, Jessie, Owner
