Our Origin
Note From The Founder
-Allison Mackey
Walking down a random street in Bali, on a solo trip, I got lost on the way to a restaurant. When I was at the peak of frustration I rounded the corner and was surrounded by orchids. They were up in the trees and growing untamed EVERYWHERE! I immediately felt an inner sense of calm. I took some time to admire their beauty, and I proceeded to find a nearby eatery so that I could continue to enjoy the view (it was that AMAZING!). Everyone who stumbled upon them, stopped in admiration. As I sat sipping fresh squeezed juice and taking in the moment, a lady approached, striking up a friendly conversation and ultimately inviting me to her design studio. Having just abandoned my initial plan, I didn’t hesitate to accept, Yena had the coolest style and I was excited to see her collection. I discovered Yena is an exotic leather artisan with an INCREDIBLE body of work. She detailed her processes and I learned of her many obstacles to growth. I had never seen such beautifully unique accessories and I fell in love with her art, it was in that the moment, Orchid Noir was conceived.
