Crystal Moselle Instagram – #3 #40over35 @johnnyandtawnee are the parents to these wonderful girls ( @superchillfan and @madroni_redclock ) I met through my old friend @lindseythornburg … they are an incredible artistic creative crew that I love spending time with. Below is a statement on their unique bag company : “Johnny and Tawnee” began in January of 1998 when they met. It was love at first sight. They made a pact to always stay together, work together, and start their own tribe. They are both members of the Choctaw Tribe of Oklahoma. Tawnee was taught by her mother how to make Native American art and in turn she taught it to Johnny. He instantly excelled at it and they began selling at Pow Wows and art shows. As their family grew to include two daughters they had to put down more permanent roots and settled in Las Vegas for seventeen years before making the move to New York City. They have kept their philosophy unchanged since their inception- 100% handmade out of the finest materials they can find. Their signature stitch cannot be replicated by machines. Johnny does every step from drafting the pattern to sewing the final stitch, and his goal is to create unique pieces that are equally works of art and everyday tough-as-nails bags. Johnny was born and raised in the country in Kansas. He is most at home in the desert, hiking and taking pictures. He is known as being a “walking petroglyph” always with one foot in the ancient history and mysticism. Tawnee was born and raised in a four sided glass pyramid in Southern California. She is most at home anywhere as long as she has her family. | Posted on 30/Mar/2023 00:51:43
