Mary Whisenhunt-Mettenberger x By the Namesake: Capsule Collection Launch

An intimate launch dinner celebrating Mary’s (@mawhizmett) capsule collection with By the Namesake, a leather atelier focused on re-inventing the leather jacket through customization. The evening was a collaboration with @mawhizmett x By the Namesake x Waymore’s Guest House x Locket Events Co.

Guests gathered for cocktails on the Waymore’s rooftop before transitioning to a candlelit dinner in the lobby. The bespoke tablescape set the tone for the evening, featuring custom newsprint highlighting the capsule launch, green glassware, warm candlelight, and curated antique accents. Designed to feel layered and intentional, the setting echoed the craftsmanship and individuality of the collection itself.
