WHY JUNIPERO?
The word Junipero is an amalgamation of Juniper, a tree found throughout the world; and Pero, which means 'to wear' in Hindi. This embodies our founder Drishti Dosti's core values and beliefs, as she strives to make this world more sustainable one step at a time!
Why did we REBRAND?
The past 5 years have been absolutely wonderful! To be honest, Iā€™d never even thought my business would last 5 years when i had started my own shoe label! Nevertheless, looking back- Iā€™m glad i started my brand 5 years ago on an impulse with little planning!Ā 
ā€˜Pivotingā€™ (and adapting) is definitely the essence of any business! ā€˜Entrepreneurshipā€™ is literally like jumping off a cliff and then assembling an airplane on the way down! You solve unforeseen problems and ideate new strategies everyday!Ā 
Over the last couple of months, I had been feeling disconnected with my brand name ā€˜Essdee Accessoriesā€™ as it didnā€™t really personify my beliefs and values of my footwear company! Iā€™ve always maintained the philosophy of manufacturing sustainable and conscious products without harming this beautiful ecosystem we call Earth!Ā 
In addition to this, Iā€™ve always wanted to produce hand made shoes as, it not only uplifts the talented artisans of our country, but also helps them express their art-form in the most realistic and genuine way!Ā 
Hence, i decided to finally re-brand my label from Essdee Accessories to Junipero, as it truly exemplifies my brandā€™s beliefs, values, ethics and vision! ā€˜Juniperā€™ is a common tree
found across the globe & ā€˜Peroā€™ means to wear in archaic Hindi.Ā 
Iā€™m super excited and stoked to unveil my new collection of sustainable and eco friendly footwear under my new brand name Junipero! Thank you for your continued love and support!
