Sometimes we're lucky enough to meet wonderful people, who then introduce us to equally wonderful people, and the cycle continues to perpetuate. This is my situation with Holly, the beautiful sister of one of my nearest and dearest friends, Britt.
Over the last year I've had the privilege and honor of getting to know Holly, and immediately understood how sweet, generous and compassionate her soul is. She has been so supportive and kind to me through one of the hardest times in my life, and I feel so thankful to get to call her a friend. I know you'll love her too!
Holly originally started Melrose Leather in 2017, and jumped into it as a full-time venture in January of 2022.
Here are some highlights from our chat:
- The bright side of social media: How building a supportive virtual community can happen
- Growing up with a sister who doubles as a "twin" and best friend
- While we're talking about sisters...don't fuck with ours
- The insanity that is having a wedding
- Leather is forever: The opposite of fast fashion
- Why "working hours" are hard to define as a business owner
- The time, energy and creativity that fuels Holly's passion
- Hoping to open her own brick-and-mortar one day
"The meaning behind the name Melrose — my mother’s name is Melody but she was well known as ‘Auntie Mel’, and her favorite flowers were roses. She passed away when I was 13 years old and through her life and passing, she has shaped so much of the woman I am today" - Holly
