GAUDESS is a lifestyle brand offering luxury and creative self-expression through shared positivity and sisterhood. The brand disrupts its industry and reimagines women-led corporate social responsibility through its values of sustainability, reciprocity and positive energetic alignment on personal and global levels. The company started as a creative family legacy: GAUDESS was originally founded in 2000 by CEO/Creative Director Amy Walko’s real-life sister Michele Goodbread and reached early success with unique beaded designs. Following a vision of shared healing and hope through energy and beauty, Amy led the company’s evolution into a beacon brand that brings aligned, powerful women together. More than 20 years later, GAUDESS continues to manifest luxury and elegance through shared positivity!
Amy Walko, CEO and Creative Director of GAUDESS, is committed to building a logo heritage brand that offers innovation and value that no other luxury lifestyle company can. GAUDESS accessories use carnelian gemstone-charged designs and positive social connections among dynamic women to bring out the best in its customers. Her curated brand experience creates positive meaning, a shared philosophy, and a brand home where women feel a sense of belonging.
