The Story

 

Short answer?

I survived Lymphoma.

Now I make Leather Goods.

 

The start of VaryGaughn:

I was diagnosed in July of 2021, when the doctors found a 7cm tumor in my abdomen.  I had been suffering for 8 months prior and on Aug. 3, 2021, they removed a 12cm tumor from my colon.  

Death had whispered in my ear, "not yet."

Chemotherapy treatment put me in and out of the hospital for up to a week at a time.  My body fell apart and my hair left me.  But with my friends and family, I never felt broken.  My spirit was able to reset and see what was really important.  A blessing within the curse of Cancer.  

While I was in the hospital, I saw the kids at St. Jude, painting their windows.... It still gets me emotional thinking about it.  I promised myself I would live my life as fully as allowed.  I owed it to them who were taken.

 

I created VaryGaughn so one day I will be able to give back.

 

The direction of VaryGaughn:

The future of VaryGaughn is to become a premier Craft Studio in the United States.  VaryGaughn will resemble the luxury house ateliers located in Italy and France but with American DNA.  The absolute highest quality, but never wasteful [LUXURY ADJACENT].  VaryGaughn will be recognizable and aways unique [SCARS INCLUDED]. VaryGaughn is a promise to be authentic, natural, and tough.
