A native of Detroit and now New York City-based designer, Jessica Park was inspired to make her first bag out of sheer captivation of an “as-chance-would-have-it” material processing quality appeal, history, and the look of something conventional dying to be transformed in a truly unconventional way. Soon after, AMPERSAND AS APOSTROPHE was launched.  The brand’s preferred method of solving design challenges is to refine what’s there instead of focusing on what’s not. The first collection was made from 100-year-old mailbags, featuring over the shoulder bags that doubled as clutches and triple as anything else you may like.
