It seemed like people really liked what we were designing. They priced how much it would cost to enlist local help to create the bracelets and it was too expensive, so for the first few years, Patrick and Vickers continued doing all the work themselves. And they still do, pitching in to create the accessories during busy holiday and summer seasons, while also producing, taking and editing all the promotional photos themselves and posting to social media sites and their website, oftentimes updating late into the night and early morning hours at home.

Because the business took off, Patrick skipped college to focus on the brand, officially launching Kiel James Patrick in Meanwhile, Vickers graduated from the University of Rhode Island.

Through Instagram and Tumblr posts, KJP sold more product than they ever imagined on the website and gained attention from national retailers, such as L. Bean and, later, Brooks Brothers. They moved operations to a larger home in Johnston, and as more trucks pulled up with shipments of materials, the neighbors became irritated and the couple understood it was time to move on.

It gave us a little kick. The red brick Kiel James Patrick factory on Central Avenue in Pawtucket once housed a dance hall and roller skating rink upstairs and an autobody downstairs. The area surrounding the building is gritty and commercial, but the interior is a whole different world. Go upstairs and peer through the tiny square window on the door and a mounted buck head sporting a bowtie and ball cap and photos of John F.

Kennedy on the walls will scream KJP. The factory floor includes wooden boats made into shelving and an alcove with displays holding dyed ropes in every color of the rainbow. Vickers and Patrick sit side by side at laptops, Vickers checking emails and Patrick going through 4, photos from a recent Ocean House photo shoot. Patrick and Vickers styled the shoots in an ocean view suite for a Town and Country magazine online campaign.

They photographed themselves in their own fashionable outfits while Vickers accessorized with the jewelry. Throughout the weekend, the couple took 4, photos both inside and outside the property, and they sent edited photos back to the magazine for selection.

After a luxurious weekend away filled with long days of photo shoots, they came home to find that the pipes had burst inside their lakefront home. They plugged in heaters for warmth, but that only blew out the electricity. That night, they cuddled together to stay warm. Holly Costa of Pawtucket has wavy long blond hair and wears a light gray hoodie and faded jeans. She has been working here two years. Photographs provided by Kiel James Patrick. Costa began working at the KJP factory after responding to a Craigslist ad.

Previously, she had been working for Charisma Manufacturing making jewelry for QVC since she was fifteen. But when they sent the work overseas, Costa began communicating with manufacturers in China by computer.

Finally, the company shut down and Costa was without a job. Now her daughter with black hair and blue streaks works alongside her helping to prep materials so that she can save time and assemble the bracelets faster. Twenty-seven people are employed at Kiel James Patrick in different roles. The metals used to make the anchors and clasps come from a company in Cranston, and the ropes are ordered from various locations in the United States, including New Bedford, Hawaii and North Carolina.

A company in East Providence braids and twists the ropes in advance, which saves time, because they used to do that themselves, too. Factory floor manager Mery Carlson wears a plaid blanket scarf, sweater and leggings, while filling orders that come through the website and wholesale accounts.

Each piece is wrapped in tissue paper emblazoned with a map of Nantucket Sound and placed in a navy box tied with a white rope fastened into a slipknot. We printed a menu and included it with their order. Carlson, thirty-one, met Patrick and Vickers while managing a Starbucks. The couple often came in for iced coffees. After touring the factory, she seized the opportunity when a job came up. Vickers says fans try to track them down through social media. In fact, maintaining any sense of privacy is a challenge.

This is ideal Rhode Island. But we also have our personal lives. They posted a few images from the day, which exploded across social media sites and ended up on websites for Town and Country , Cosmopolitan , Glamour , the Knot, Huffington Post and more. Even though these photos made the rounds in the public eye, there are moments that will remain a mystery.

Friend and former staffer Richard Ross, twenty-six, posted some behind-the-scenes videos on his YouTube vlog , just to show how much actually goes into building the brand. He wanted to be a part of it. After some email and social media correspondence, he drove up to the factory one day on his way to Boston, and knocked on the door. Patrick and Ross hit it off, and Ross was soon adopted by the brand for his video skills.

He worked throughout the spring and summer for KJP, but eventually returned to Texas to begin a career as a photographer and filmmaker for A. Larry Ross Communications. Ross stresses the amount of dedication Patrick and Vickers put into the brand themselves. Patrick takes every single product and lifestyle shot himself, featured on the retail website, plus most of the social media photos.

Patrick and Vickers are in their early thirties, and many photo shoots involve college kids and twenty-somethings. Look at who their biggest fans are and you can connect the dots.

There is a good mission and purpose to help the next kids coming up learn these new skills and apply them everywhere they go. The shot swoops down in front of the chateaux-like stone estate to focus on a stylishly dressed young man pulled up in a vintage sports car being greeted by a young lady.

And on the next episode of Ocean Drive? Raise you hand if you want more…???? Clint had already been following KJP on Instagram, and that weekend, they took a group photo together. Instead of spending money on advertising, the team rents homes across Rhode Island and New England, brings along their crew and produces elaborate photo shoots at the properties and VIP events with the young and beautiful wearing some KJP products.

Then Pottery Barn came calling for a collaboration on a Fourth of July photo shoot , and the couple contacted Lila Delman to see if they could use one of the homes as the backdrop.
