We're Sam & Meg. And according to Merriem-Webster, we're misfits. Born in Peru and adopted and raised in America made for an interesting, albeit somewhat challenging, childhood.
We know what it feels like to never really fit in with the crowd. Any crowd. But we also know that 'not fitting in' isn't necessarily a bad thing. Because there's real value in every experience. And our experience has created an opportunity to explore deep culture, heritage, and personal identity.
We're on a journey to balance our South American roots and US upbringing. And as we connect our hearts to the land and people of our ancestors...
We create.
As we immerse ourselves in philosophy, music, and art...
We create.
Our friendship began at the awkward and impressionable age of 13 as we found ourselves on the same heritage trip to South America-- two misfit kids looking for clues to their pasts.
Though we grew up in different parts of the US (Sam in Manhattan, NY, and Meg in suburban Minnesota), we managed to keep our connection as our shared interest in our homeland grew. Because, to know where you are going, you must first know where you have been.You are invited to be part of our creative journey by enjoying apparel designed and crafted with intention and heart.
By uncovering our roots and building connections to the present, we are forging our future and preserving the culture of our ancestors. Hope you'll join us!
