Vesey Lane Goods is a…

The name Vesey (pronounced vee-see) symbolizes generations of trailblazers and innovators. It all started with Narvell and Burl Henry Vesey, my maternal great-grandparents, who spent their youth in Boley, Oklahoma—a historically Black town known for its enterprise. My great-grandfather worked as a builder, and my great-grandmother was a homemaker and a crafter. Her daughter, Vondell Vesey-Bailey, was a milliner and writer, and her creative talents were passed on to my mother. I inherited my family’s passion for craft and serving others.

I am thankful for the connection I had with my grandmother, Vondell. She was an incredibly creative woman who made art, poetry, and taught me how to sew. Even though my grandmother passed away when I was 12, the stories I heard about her life inspired me to embrace my creativity. Vesey Lane Goods represents my passion for working with my hands to make memories and preserve my family legacy.

Now I make handcrafted goods that enrich lives.
