Our Story

 

Hey y'all!

Thank you for stopping by! We're thankful that you're here :)

I'm Lorena Whitley and I'm a wife, and mama of our beautiful daughter, Harper. I'm originally from El Salvador and lived there for 12 years until my family moved to Nicaragua because we were sent as missionaries to Managua. I grew up in a Christian home and have been very blessed to witness first hand the blessings of working in ministry and watch Jesus change lives!

While living in Nicaragua, I met my husband on a mission trip. We talked everyday for a few months over Skype, and later that year he flew back to Nicaragua and surprised me with the sweetest proposal just two days before my college graduation. It was the best weekend! I graduated with my Bachelor's Degree in Diplomacy and International Relations, and I always thought I would work for an International Organization or at an embassy, but never in a million years I thought I would fall in love with someone from a different country and then my life would change forever.

Fast forward to the following year, my husband and I got married in 2016 in North Carolina and we've been living here since. We welcomed our daughter in 2022 and it's been a blessing to be able to care for her and be a stay at home mom.

Even though I never went to Design School, I love coming up with designs and get inspired when seasons change, by the reading of God's Word, and keeping up with the trends! I've always dreamed of having my own brand and online store, but never really had the chance and courage to start. With the support of friends and family, and the need to help our household while caring for our daughter, I'm getting out of my comfort zone and starting our family business in honor of our daughter. 

And that's how Harper & Co. started! We hope you love the designs, rep your favorite style and start conversations with our Faith Collection and share what God has done in your life!

Thank you for being here. Thank you for your support. To God be the glory!
