Kristyn DeBord Durbin paved her way in the family business as a sales representative and designer for Double J Saddlery. She helped expand the Double J leather goods to include not just handmade saddles and tack but also fashion accessories \u2014 bags and belts made from the leftover leathers. She even created her own jewelry line, Vestige by Double J, which she continues to design herself at home in Yoakum, Texas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a new mom of two young girls, Kristyn has gone from wholesale to retail, stepping away from her role with the saddlery business to establish June\u2019s Pearls, an online boutique of children\u2019s clothing, toys, and gifts, and she joins the show today to share her story, her history, and the lessons she has learned along the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Listen in as Kristyn shares how Double J Saddlery has evolved since it was founded in 1991 and how Kristyn has played a pivotal role in driving the fashion side of the business with the curation of the Vestige by Double J jewelry line. We also discuss how Double J has built a brand that has stood the test of time and become a staple in the Western industry, and what non-Western brands can learn from their Western counterparts. We get into so much in this episode, so get comfortable and get ready to be inspired!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
