Our Story

Founded in Fort Worth, Texas 2022, Laferne & Marie (formerly The Wilderness Studios) was created by Georgia State University graduate and entrepreneur, Latoya Owens. She has always had a love for creating. Working with her hands helped her deal with anxiety and depression throughout the years. She has always had a love for writing, cooking, and baking. However, familial hardships led her to discover acrylic pour art and knitting, where she began to learn and create beautiful pieces. 

She has always had issues with her skin. Due to having sensitive skin since childhood, she battled with eczema and very dry skin. So finding an affordable store brand lotion or moisturizer that suited her needs wasn't a walk in the park. Nothing seemed to moisturize her skin and provide almost all day relief. This led her to create what you know as her infamous beauty butter. A product that was initially only created for herself has now become a beauty staple for customers nationwide. 

Here at Laferne & Marie Co, we offer 10 different scents of our luxurious beauty butter and countless pieces of art that would look lovely in any home. From coasters, to paintings, scarves, blankets and so much more you are sure to find love in every single product.
