My interview with True Religion Co-Founder Kym Gold on newest venture -- dumæ

I interviewed Kym Gold for Mansion Global -- Five years ago, design entrepreneur Kym Gold fired up the kiln of her own creativity and pivoted to something new.

Gold, whose varied career includes co-founding 2000s designer jeans staple True Religion, turned her gaze to ceramics after her son gifted her a pottery class. She recalls admiring her mother’s decades-long collection of teapots from around the world, but had never attempted to make her own pieces. That hobby is now a multi-faceted brand, launching in 2020 as Style Union Home.

It has since been renamed dumæ, her Los Angeles-based luxury ceramics brand. Gold and her team work on projects like hotel interiors, and dumæ’s products are sold in more than 300 retailers. They recently dropped their “tosca collection” in stores.

We chated about “the dumæ experience,” her home near Los Angeles’s Fryman Canyon Park, and what luxury means to her.
