Life has a way of sending me women who feel like living prayers—Jonnea is one of them.
She came to me in high school—lips as red as a ristra, a smile that could turn a stranger into family. As my sampling and shipping assistant, she turned every order into an experience: special stickers chosen with intention, labels lined just right, little cards slipped in for delight. Without even trying, she reminded me that care is a ritual. To this day, every package from
@the.alambique carries her touch—wrapped in dried flowers and love you can feel before the box is even open.
Now she’s on runways around the world for
@skyeaglecollection — (check out their scarf she is wearing 🤤) a brand that threads the heartbeat of the reservation to the runway. Their work stitches Taos into every seam—the warmth of adobe walls baked in the sun, the hush of snow on Taos Mountain, the smell of sage after rain. Here in Taos, brands aren’t manufactured, they are inherited. They rise from the same hands that taught them to tend fields, weave textiles, and pass down recipes like heirlooms.
Heritage here here isn’t a slogan—it’s muscle memory. Life moves with the seasons. Rituals aren’t curated for show, they’re carried because they’ve always been. From the reservation to the runway,
@skyeaglecollection wears Taos like a treasure.
Watching Jonnea embody that truth—hers, mine, ours—is like seeing the desert bloom after rain. I’m beyond honored to champion the woman she has become and all the accomplishments adorned along the way.
