HI THERE,

I’m Kara Layne

I'm a purveyor of the old-fashioned, seeker of simplicity, curator of classics, with a heart for making things beautiful. There is a luxury found within simplicity. And in a world that is constantly chasing more, I can't wait to show you that less isn't just more - it's the cornerstone of a life well-lived. One that is truly well-designed.
