OUR FOUNDERS

BR COLLABORATIVE was conceived from a desire to create pieces that complement and refine what already exists in a wardrobe. We've always believed in the transformative quality of a great jacket; something that can make even the simplest, most familiar outfit feel distinctive.

With this in mind, we set out to create jackets that are as distinctive as they are wearable, honoring our commitment to quality through fine fabrics and superior craftsmanship.

Having always shared a deep-rooted love for fashion, aunt-and-nephew duo Beth and Will founded BR COLLABORATIVE in late 2023.

Both native New Yorkers, they draw on the expertise of the city’s Garment District, working closely with local patternmakers and factories to develop and produce each jacket.

Much of the inspiration behind BR COLLABORATIVE comes from Fran, Beth’s mother and Will’s grandmother, whose innate sense of style brought elegance and personality to everything she wore. 

An avid traveler with a deep appreciation for nature, her favorite birds and flowers lend their names to each jacket in the collection, a quiet tribute to her enduring influence.

Ultimately, our jackets are a reflection of the belief that clothing should be worn with ease, confidence, and an unwavering sense of self. Crafted with uncompromising quality, they’re made for the stylishly underdressed.
