Collaborating with my dear friend and long time inspiration Katie James, is an absolute dream come true. When I see other women chase their dreams and turn them into reality - it lights a fire deep in my soul. Particularly, when I see moms doing it ALL with beauty, grace and grit while simultaneously supporting and lifting up other women. 

byJames is a sustainable shoe brand started by @katie_james over a decade ago and named after her late father Kelly James… a mountaineer who wandered the world.

Interestingly enough, both of our fathers were lost too soon.  We also both have 2 kids, a boy and a girl. Katie moved to Tulum and produces timeless one of kind shoes, hats, bags, and furniture. She is also an epic interior designer (another awe inspiring talent that touched me on a creative level) and she just opened a nail salon- @theolive_naillounge- which pairs perfectly with her chic sandals.

There is literally nothing this WOMAN can’t do, create, inspire, lead and dig in through hard times in career and personal life.

I love to collaborate with other likeminded women… supporting and working with each other is a love language like no other. Can’t wait to bring more ByJames to our collection soon including a special sandal collab designed by Katie and I. 

Love, 

Amy
