“We are William Knopp and Jessica Tata, the husband and wife team behind Son of a Sailor. The birth of the brand is inextricably tied to our own relationship–when we first met and began designing together, Son of a Sailor was the organic result,” according to their website under “Our Story.” 

“Much of the inspiration behind our handmade jewelry and accessories comes from the application of color, pattern, and geometry to materials with a rich history and story. We embrace the convergence of innovation, functionality, storytelling, and bright, bold geometry in all of our designs.”
