On July 4, 1776, the words were bold and history-making:
“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal…”
But freedom, while declared in a moment, is often lived out slowly—step by step.
At Beaudin, we’ve come to see freedom not as a one-time event, but as a journey. One that looks different for each woman we work with.
Let me tell you about Olivia.
That’s not her real name, but her story is very real. And it started at a bus stop.
A New Kind of Independence Day
Olivia came to Beaudin while finishing her final season at a recovery center in Atlanta. Every morning, she traveled over 24 miles—sometimes taking a bus for more than an hour and a half—to reach our studio.
We’d pick her up from the stop, rain or shine. She was quiet at first. Her hand trembled the first time she touched a piece of leather—shaking as she cut components that would become part of our handbags.
But she showed up.
Every day.
Ready to start again.
Six months later, she walked through our door with her head held high and hands steady.
Eighteen months later, she left Beaudin—not because she was done healing, but because she had been launched. Olivia took a position at a company she had once only dreamed of working at.
Her story is not rare around here. It’s the quiet kind of revolution happening inside our workshop: freedom, stitched into every seam.

Because at Beaudin, freedom is personal.
👜 It’s in the bags made by hands that once trembled but now create with confidence.
🪡 It’s in the dignity of work. The pride of craftsmanship. The joy of a fresh start.
💛 It’s in knowing that what you carry… carries so much more.
