Jessie Randall sketched the brand's first collection from a Cobble Hill garden apartment in 2004, her dog in her lap, while her husband Brian worked full-time in advertising to support them both. He cut up their wedding invitation and tucked pieces of it into the footbed of an early prototype alongside her middle and last names, which is how the brand got its own. Bergdorf Goodman picked up that debut collection in its very first season, and Jessie went on to win the CFDA's Swarovski Award for Accessory Design just two years later.
