Behind the Names: The Iris Clutch Wallet

At Grit Mercantile, we name our products to honor ancestors, family and friends who have displayed true grit in their lives.

Grit: courage and determination despite difficulty. (Cambridge Dictionary)

Without further ado, we present the story of Iris.

The Iris Clutch Wallet is named in honor of Garret's mother, who bravely fought a rare cancer and kept her faith and family strong up until the end. She spent decades working for one of Fort Worth's top defense attorneys and had a great love for genealogy. Before she passed away, Garret's mother gifted him with the culmination of her years of research, which tells of many generations displaying grit through life's challenges.
