The new York Times Leilani Pineda Loresier

Loresier was born from an affirmation inspired by my late mama. Nearly two decades ago, I sketched the first "Live to Tell the Tale" Wearable Affirmation necklace—a reflection of her strength, story, and all she overcame. Loresier is my way of honoring her legacy, a tribute to the love she left behind.

She raised me in the heart of Manhattan, and inspired me to believe in myself enough to create my own growing legacy at Barneys, The New York Times, New York magazine, The Cut, JPMorgan—and now, at my very own, Loresier.

At Loresier, we tell stories through created and curated pieces, helping you shape your own lore with heirlooms to be shared as gifts and passed down through generations.

Our pieces are inspired by the lives so beautifully lived by the women who raised me—my mama, my aunt, and my grandma—all of whom were absolute Force(s) of Nature and Work(s) of Art. Our Wearable Affirmations, the heart of Loresier, exist to help you embody and manifest your story.

Everything and everyone has a story, a point of origin. We hope you enjoy our pieces and the stories we share as much as we enjoy creating and curating them.

I am eternally grateful for it all and for you all.

A story. A point of origin.
