Business Spotlight: Western Gringa

Western fashion isn’t limited to pearl snaps, jeans, and boots. Western fashion is an art and a way to express yourself. Kensee (Western Gringa) wanted to inspire the western fashion community and try something new. She wanted them to see fashion in an artistic way. Kensee started Western Gringa LLC to create not only women's clothing and accessories, but advertising services and styling as well.

“Western fashion for the modern wild west”. Western Grina LLC strives to create a community where everyone can be considered a cowgirl. Kensee says “that the fashion she offers is as unique as her customers and will remain that way as long as Western Gringa LLC is in business!” She built her company to be inclusive. She wanted to build a community where she can feel accomplished as a leader not for the money. Western Gringas' unique products are sold nowhere else. Business is about connections says Kensee. She wants her community to know that she is there for them and wants to give support whenever she can. Kensee shared with us that she didn't have much help starting her business, so she wants to be that support system for her community.

We asked Kensee what a day in her life is like. With running her own LLC and doing social media along with any other things, she starts her day off with a quick workout, breakfast, and reflection. She says that by doing this she's aligned for the day and is ready to take on tasks. Her day to day schedule could vary if she is attending rodeos or other events. She could spend weeks on the road traveling to rodeos and not be able to “work on the backend of her clothing business”. Dedicating days for content creating and other days for orders helps keep her in routine, though that could change. She says that she is pretty much on the move all day long. She likes to keep her community in touch and up to date on what she is doing. Kensee feels like 99% of her life is shared on social media. She loved creating unique content and clothing for her community. She wants you to “join Suede Pants, (her dog) or (western gringa’s mascot) and her on their cowgirl adventure as they change the world one closet at a time”.
