Putnam Accessory Group’s founder, John had an early interest in fashion and branding. He spent his summers in high school as a stock-boy in a local clothing store on the central coast of California. From stock-boy to salesmen, John found a passion in the fashion industry that he has carried through in all of his successful entrepreneurial ventures.
John’s creative vision and strong knowledge of the marketplace has allowed him to steer the direction of the headwear industry; while being credited with single-handedly beginning the massive bucket hat trend in the late 90’s — after partnering with Disney to manufacture and retail the hats in all of its parks.
John also created and patented the headwear technology Tek Flex, which he eventually sold to New Era, the world’s largest headwear company.
“When somebody feels good about what they’re wearing, and feels that it captures their uniqueness – it’s a catalyst for people to find their own important voice.”
