About the Designer:
California native & GIA certified, Ashley Porter launched Porter Lyons in November 2012 as an exotic skin belt line sourced and manufactured in Louisiana. The company has since evolved into an accessory & jewelry lifestyle brand. Porter’s family heritage in New Orleans dates back to the early 1860s where they owned a Pharmacy. Porter concepts and designs all of her collections in New Orleans, documenting culture through design. Every collection is inspired by a particular culture, part of the proceeds benefit a cause working to conserve that culture's identity, and the collection’s designs are the embodiment of that story.
