“I've noticed something over the years—in this world of fast fashion, many of us are searching for something with greater meaning. We want clothes that do more than just cover us; we want clothes that speak for us, that tell our stories and reflect our dreams. That's why I created Desperado. Our pieces are crafted to be timeless, telling the story of trailblazing women who wear them—not just today, but for years to come.”
xoxo, Lucy
