“A domestic brand producing domestic products,” that's a goal for Heirloom Amalgam. In part 1, we have Scott and Amy Burr, Co-Founders of Heirloom Amalgam, a fashion brand.
Scott has been a vintage collector for about 10 years. He initially started his career in the hospitality industry. In 2014, he switched to the footwear industry. Scott and Amy saw an opportunity in New York, so they moved from Mississippi. For them traveling has always opened a new world, whether in fashion or style or both.
During the pandemic, Scott started focusing on building Heirloom Amalgam along with Amy. Heirloom means something with 'value,’ whereas Amalgam means a 'blend.’ Hence, the brand wants to make valuable things that blend different periods.
They talked about:
* Gratefulness
* Overview of the brand
* Meaning of Heirloom Amalgam
* What pushed them
* What clothing means to them
Join Ramon Vela, Scott, and Amy Burr as they break down the inside story on The Story of a Brand.

| 0:27.5 | And throughout working with footwear, which was a, you know, footwear is very, very specific. |
| 0:36.0 | And sometimes it's difficult to get your artistic vision fully out there in the form of a shoe. |
| 0:46.3 | So Amy and I had talked over many, many years about potentially doing a clothing line. |
| 0:56.2 | And during the pandemic, we sat down. |
| 1:02.2 | We used the time that we had to focus on many aspects of our life, |

| 1:30.6 | But we're having a lot of fun making garments and making clothing. |

| 1:48.2 | I was manufacturing in Europe, in Portugal, |
| 1:52.1 | and in Italy, and the lead times could be unbearable at times. |
| 1:58.2 | I was making very small batch footwear. And we've found that by re-centering our |
