HI THERE,

I’m Kara Layne

Around here, we believe in building a life and brand that feel like home — rooted in meaning, styled with timeless simplicity, and lived with intention. I’m a purveyor of the old-fashioned, a curator of the classics, and a firm believer that less isn’t just more — it’s the foundation of a life well-lived. In a world constantly chasing more, I’m here to help you cultivate something slower, richer, and beautifully well-designed.

Designer, storyteller, educator, wife to a bearded gent, and mother of five
