BIO
Naomi Stokeld, Roxana Zal, and Adrienne Weller are the driving force behind handbag and accessories line, ONE OCTOBER. The goal of ONE OCTOBER is to create designs that are classic and timeless but with an edge.
Naomi was born in Santa Cruz, California and grew up in Latin America. While living in Chile, she became an attorney but always had an eye for fashion and new trends. In Chile she discovered the superior qualities and unique beauty of salmon leather. She recognized the untapped potential of the salmon leather in the fashion market and contacted Roxana, her husband's cousin, to help her vision reach fruition.
Roxana was born in Malibu, California. A successful actress for most of her life, she has always been drawn to fashion in front of and behind the camera. Between filming she started designing and doing PR for fashion companies. While maintaining her acting career, she spent more time designing, styling, and working in the fashion industry and found a unique fulfillment to her creative drive.
Adrienne grew up in New Zealand, and was always inspired by fashion. After spending time in Italy for university she moved to Los Angeles and started her own clothing line that sold at boutiques such as Fred Segal and Patricia Field. After a few years costume designing and styling, she had segued into PR, but was eager to get back to fashion. She and Roxana met through a friend in Sydney and worked together in the fashion industry, which led to them becoming fast friends.
Naomi and Roxana approached her to combine their talents, expertise, and resources, and ONE OCTOBER was created.
ONE OCTOBER delivers high-quality, sophisticated fashion for the confident consumer who celebrates individuality... Jennifer Aniston, Amanda Seyfried, Rihanna, Shannon Doherty, Lindsey Price, Victoria Beckham, and Eva Mendes are fans of ONE OCTOBER's unique, irreverent styles. ONE OCTOBER is carried domestically in top boutiques such as Blue Bag, Satine, Bleu, Diavolina and Takashimaya.
The brand's appeal extends overseas, with international distribution in Europe, Asia and the Middle East. In September 2008, Lucky Magazine named ONE OCTOBER one of &The Best New Designers&.
ABOUT SALMON SKIN
In 2007, Chile's salmon farming industry produced $2.2 billion in export revenues. That makes Chile the world's second-largest exporter of salmon after Norway. Salmon skin leather is an environmentally responsible option to snake, alligator, crocodile, and other exotic skins. It's made from a by-product that would otherwise be wasted (the fish is sheared before it goes to market, leaving tens of thousands of skins to be discarded each year), and second, because salmon skin, like the skins of snakes, alligators and crocodiles is hairless, far fewer chemicals are needed to treat the skin during the tanning process. As a result, there's almost no polluting residue left in the water once leather manufacturing is complete. Thus, by incorporating salmon skin leather into its designs ONE OCTOBER has created a collection that environmentally conscious consumers can feel positive about carrying.
ONE OCTOBER is based in Los Angeles where the collection is designed and produced. Naomi and her husband Oliver recently welcomed a son, Sebastian, and travel extensively, while Roxana lives in Silverlake with her beloved Maltese puppy, Lola. Adrienne lives in Venice Beach with her recently adopted Pharaoh Hound mix, Suva. Their combined experiences, passion for design and fashion, and friendship, is what makes ONE OCTOBER a brand that appeals to customers from all walks of life.
