The idea was born during a surf trip to South America. After a devastating 7.8 magnitude earthquake in the province where Steph and Kyle Taylor were located, they decided to take a long motorcycle trip into the Andean mountain range and away from the damaged coastline. There, they discovered the region's beautiful alpaca fiber and quickly fell in love with the idea of building a sustainable business around it.

They dreamt of creating something that wasn’t size- or gender-specific; it would have no expiry date. It would be passed on for generations. It would become a MEANINGFUL POSSESSION. A few days later, they embarked on a fourteen-hour bus ride to the South, where they put their dream in motion. They spent the entire ride sketching out their business plan on children’s notepads they picked up at the local market. While the rest of the passengers slept and watched the featured foreign movies on the small, grainy screen at the front of the bus, they started shaping their new brand.

They came up with a name, “Blacksaw”. Shortly after a slogan, “Meaningful Possessions”. It may have been the altitude or the cowboy coffee, but whatever it was, they had a clear, concise brand vision, so they started developing a mission statement around it.

The notes on the paper that day read: “We will not sacrifice who we are and what we believe in. This is a story about staying true to our vision and sticking to our belief systems. Working with eco-friendly materials, or better yet, not working with man-made synthetic fibers. Making sure we contribute to the solution, not the problem. Utilizing, in our opinion, one of the most underused and underrated fabrications in the world, and turning it into something beautiful that we are proud of. We will only work with people who inspire us and people we trust, believe in, and truly care about”

They then had to take a step back to assess if this business concept actually made sense from a lifestyle perspective. After traveling for a year, they developed a new appreciation for experiences, and they started seeing them as a secondary “currency.” Traveling taught them lessons. They learned that these experiences unlocked their best selves and triggered far more creativity. Creativity kept them inspired, and inspiration kept them happy. They needed to move away from the old “working” model to develop a lifestyle that led to predictable happiness. At the end of that fourteen-hour bus ride, Blacksaw was born. Not only would Blacksaw be a brand that encompassed everything they stood for, but it would also become a freedom machine for a new-age lifestyle.
