Life Is An Adventure
Hi, I am Coenraad Brönn and this is my personal message to you. I hope you read this with the same smile I have while writing it.
At BRöN, we are extremely passionate about life. This drives us to dream big and live large. It's this passion and zest for life we want to share with you.
I always had a dream to travel long-term. Quick trips to amazing destinations were never quite enough. To fulfil my dream of exploring interesting corners of the earth as a long-term traveller, I quit my job in investment banking, sold everything I owned and decided to embark on the biggest adventure of my life - a world trip. I packed my backpack and bought a one-way ticket to Guatemala.
Living My Dream
Long story short, I went on an amazing, crazy, challenging, fulfilling and life-changing journey. 15 months on the road taught me so many lessons. An important one is that we are all writing our own story. We have different perspectives, priorities and dreams - and that in itself is beautiful. We should learn from the stories of others, but never try to make them our own.
I learned to follow my dreams, even if they are frowned upon by others. After 14 countries and more than 100 stops, I decided to trade in my backpack for a whole new adventure - starting my own business!
The Vision
The objective of BRöN is simple: We want to encourage people to enjoy life for the adventure it is. Inspiring people to follow their dreams is what BRöN is all about.
The reason for choosing leather products was two-fold: firstly, leather is simply fantastic. It is natural, beautiful and incredibly durable. Secondly, I have been watching my mom handcraft stunning leather products for years. Her passion became mine.
My dream is that every time you use your BRöN piece, you will be reminded of the following:
Life is beautiful. The adventure awaits. Take a risk. Follow your dreams.
