In this episode of Santa Fe Fashion Week’s Fashion Behind the Curtain, Executive Producer Stephen Cuomo sits down with Jared Lilje, founder of J.Christoph handbags. What began as a retired Air Force Special Operations pilot’s awakening to the harsh realities of human trafficking has transformed into a fashion brand with purpose. Jared shares how J.Christoph was born not just to create luxury handbags, but to empower individuals to join the fight against human trafficking and support underfunded rescue and rehabilitation programs. Discover how fashion can be more than style—it can be a force for change.
