'The studio lives in a small town in Northern Illinois. We named it 39West because we are exactly (give or take), 39 miles west of the zero-zero point in Chicago. If you can imagine the bustle of the corner of State and Madison in Chicago and then go all the way to the boundary between suburbia and farm country, one step west is cows, one step east is leather handbags, that's where we are. 

Why here? Because it's close enough that if you need anything, it's just a moment away, and if you want serenity at 2 am, the only noise is the distant train whistle. We like horse riders coming down the street and our Starbucks too. 

We don't have a physical storefront, well maybe someday, but for now, just a quiet studio to create and for anyone to enjoy."
