Todd has over 20 years of experience in sales and business development for iconic brands such as Ralph Lauren, Etro and Michael Smith Inc.They created Clay McLaurin Studio in 2013 built on their passion for textiles and love of travel.In 2019 they purchased LA Mills, a boutique weaving mill in downtown Los Angeles.This acquisition connects the heritage of American weaving to the future, and so a new American brand, McLaurin and Piercy, was born.The fabrics are rooted in classic design, while being inspired by authentic American values of hard work, honesty and independence. The finest American wool, linen and cotton are sourced for the fabrics staying true to the use of natural materials as a core value.The signature foundation of prints and wallcoverings and a new story of wovens now live under one brand, McLaurin & Piercy, with the mission to bring American textile craftsmanship to the fore.
