Description

Chelsea and Allison both have a background in fashion and a love for the outdoors. During COVID, they teamed up because they wanted to use their fashion expertise to create hiking gear for women that wasn't centered around the male gaze. The result is a balance of elegant and anti-microbial, stylish and also comfortable outdoor gear. In just two years since starting, they've been featured in Vogue, launched a hiking club and opened their first brick and mortar location in Brooklyn.

Tonight, we're excited to chat with them to hear more about their founding story and how they go from vision to design to production of their garments.

About the Mappy Hour Maker Series

Throughout our Mappy Hour community are incredibly talented makers. Many of whom do this work as a side project to full time jobs. We wanted to share their passions and skills with the broader community, which is why we're launching the Mappy Hour Maker Series. Every month, we'll feature a different maker from one of our chapters and give them the floor to share how they started, how the outdoors influences their creative processes and how you can win one of their custom pieces.

This entire series is presented by Sierra Nevada Brewing Co. - so grab a cold brew, relax and come join in!
