Journey and Experience
Chef David Shannon is not only a James Beard Award-nominated chef; he’s a master at creating an ambiance unlike anywhere else. Step into his moody Oregon Hill restaurant, L’Opossum, and you may feel like you’re on the set of a Twin Peaks-esque remake. His embrace of kitschy design and his wicked sense of humor are […]
We’re of the belief that a good haircut is as transformative as a perfectly-fitting shirt. We’re also lucky to have one of the best barbershops in the country here in Richmond, VA. High Point Barbershop opened in 2014 and quickly became the place every guy you know goes for a cut (or straight razor, or […]
Shawn Boyer is one of those guys living out the seemingly-impossible startup dream. After co-founding the job search site Snagajob in 1999 and leading its rapid growth as CEO for fourteen years, Boyer has pursued his passion project, in the form of an app. He founded GoHappy in 2016 as a way for families and […]
If you weren’t a writer, what would you be? Let’s start by acknowledging that I’m living out my dream of being a writer. I wanted this and it’s amazing. Legit, I write exhibits for the Smithsonian, that’s amazing. But writing is a manifestation of my curiosity so I would pursue a life of discovery if […]
We checked in with longtime friend and Hardywood Park Craft Brewery co-founder, Patrick Murtaugh. When Ledbury was starting out, we’d see better attendance at our store events when we served their beer, and rightly so! Hardywood was one of the first breweries in Richmond’s now exploding craft beer scene and is about to open a […]
2017 was a big year for Ledbury, on many levels. We welcomed the arrival of FOUR “Ledbaby’s (congrats to our CEO, Marketing Director, Retail Manager, and Art Director!) we hosted 20 events, our retail partners across the country grew to 100, and we relaunched our website – just to name a few milestones. Here’s a […]
We are in a kind of lucky predicament where we have the liberty to design clothes we love, clothes we want to wear, and clothes our friends and family love. Our Richmond-based workshop is our space to truly experiment with our collections – each shirt is crafted by hand by our Master Patternmaker Abel Mendoza […]
If you’ve been following us for a while, then it comes as no surprise that our annual Ledbury Quail Hunt is one of the most exciting times of year for Team Ledbury (not to mention exhausting) and something we look forward to the second autumn rolls around. For this year’s Quail Hunt we did thing […]
Sometimes we come across a local organization that is doing such great work for the Richmond community we want to shout about them from the rooftops. The good news is that our friends at Richmond Cycling Corps don’t need much of our help in getting the word out: the founder of the non-profit, Craig Dodson, […]
For many outsiders, D.C. seems like the city equivalent of a shiny, mylar Fourth of July pinwheel; emblazoned nationalism and corporate sprawl in place of culture and dynamic communities. Unfavorable reputations of the area spread far and wide, though the city seems more harshly criticized by residents of neighboring states and cities, like Richmond and […]
Kevin McCabe is a longtime Outer Banks local who’s established himself as the quintessential renaissance man. In view of the tallest brick lighthouse on the Atlantic, writer Chris Bickford grabbed a beer to hear Kevin’s story and the bold path that landed him in this beautiful place. If you think you discovered some exotic destination […]
We know how important it is to look (and feel sharp) at the office, which is a big reason why we do what we do. Inspired by that thought, two years ago this month we had a crazy idea: What if we gave away up to 100 shirts to one lucky office? And then threw […]
