In 2014, Scout Curated Wears founder Lora left her career in the frenetic fashion industry to find better work-life balance and pursue independent creativity. A year later, she began designing jewelry—crafted with beauty and meaning—for online shoppers and wholesalers. As her accessory brand outgrew the comforts of her home in Western Massachusetts, she moved into a former mill space to expand her team and her collections of charming bracelets and necklaces.
