Our Story

Welcome to Loren Montgomery James! We’re a small, passionate family team based in the scenic landscapes of North Dakota, and we’re thrilled to share our journey with you. Our brand was born out of a series of creative rebrands of our Etsy shop. We found ourselves caught up in the whirlwind of trends, constantly shifting our focus to meet the latest fads. But instead of playing that game, we decided it was time to embrace our true selves and our hyperfixations, which led us to create a brand that feels authentic and personal.

Why did we choose to make our name our brand? Well, we realized that if iconic names like Paul Frank and Tommy Hilfiger could pave their path to success by simply being themselves, then so could we! After all, our name carries our story, our values, and our commitment to quality, and we believe that resonates with the treasures we create for you.

Here at Loren Montgomery James, we take pride in curating and crafting quality items that we hope you’ll treasure for years to come. Each piece is a reflection of our creativity and our love for what we do. We’re all about bringing you unique offerings that stand out and make a statement, just like the vibrant life we live here in North Dakota.

As a family team, we believe in the importance of connection and community. We’re not just here to sell products; we’re here to build relationships and create a space where you can find items that truly resonate with you. We pour our hearts into every creation, ensuring that what you receive is not just another product but a special addition to your life.

At Loren Montgomery James, we are passionate about supporting small businesses and creators right here in the United States. Our commitment to sourcing nearly all of our supplies and tools from local, small-scale vendors is at the heart of what we do. We believe in the power of community and the importance of uplifting those who share our values. It's our way of saying “thank you” to the artisans, makers, and entrepreneurs who pour their hearts and souls into their crafts.

Choosing to partner with small businesses comes with its challenges—namely, a higher cost for us—but we see this as a worthy investment. Every dollar we spend not only supports a family-run operation but also helps foster creativity and innovation within our communities. We know that large corporations often overlook personal connections and the human touch, and we’re not interested in contributing to a system that prioritizes profit over people. By purchasing from those who truly care about their customers, we can ensure that the quality of our products reflects the dedication and artistry of the creators behind them.

When you choose to support us, you are not just buying a product; you are joining us in our journey to create a more equitable marketplace. We are thrilled to have the opportunity to connect with like-minded individuals who appreciate the value of supporting small businesses. It’s a community we cherish and a movement we are proud to be part of.

Loren Montgomery James is on a mission to strengthen communities across the country. As a socially conscious company, Loren Montgomery James donates 15% of all monthly profits through mutual aid to support the disabled and LGBTQ+ communities. By prioritizing giving back to marginalized communities, we are setting a powerful example of how businesses big and small can better our society.

We invite you to explore our collection, get to know us, and join us on this exciting journey. Your support means the world to us, and we can’t wait for you to be a part of our story! Thank you for being here with us as we bring our dreams to life, one cherished item at a time.
