Ricki Barrett Found er, Glass House Goods Ricki is the one-woman-show behind Glass House Goods. She started dreaming up this brand while she was poorly managing the transition from one child to two. During that time she struggled much more than she let on, (which she regrets) but once the fog started to eventually lift, she started to gain more confidence and started to really open up about who she was. "I don’t know if it was my age/maturity or just exhaustion from trying to be the Pinterest version of myself, but I started to be more authentic and true to myself and saw that others were too. What an amazing trend!" Glass House Goods was created as a way to remind women of their strength, their truth and their sass in a stylish way. What’s more, she created this as a way to connect with other strong women, and to celebrate our truth and tenacity. To create a community of vulnerability, kindness and badass-ery.
