PILGRIM was started by Alyssa Miller, a traveling model, musician, photographer and writer. Alyssa often found that the luggage she traveled with not only lacked a certain je ne sais quoi, but never quite functioned in the ways that she wanted and needed. As her frustration grew, she started experimenting with making her own pieces, and PILGRIM was born. Photographer: Harper Smith at See Management. Model: Alyssa Miller.
