Knollwood originated in 2016 in Redding, California, transforming a 1920s attic into a makeshift workspace. Over eight years, the brand evolved through various phases of exploration and refinement. In 2022, a two-year hiatus began, during which I embraced a role as a design and engineering teacher. This experience deepened my appreciation for Knollwood, sparking the concept for my pattern collection as I guided students in blending innovative ideas across different creative disciplines.
In 2024, I made the decision to leave teaching and return to Knollwood full-time. My commitment to Knollwood centers around crafting quality handmade bags that embody timeless elegance while incorporating materials that invite a touch of adventurous spirit into everyday life.
