Bryan Calvero, founder of Period Correct and friend of the brand, has always built around three simple principles: quality, authenticity, and enduring design. For him, it’s about intention—whether it’s the cars in his garage or the pieces in his wardrobe, everything has a purpose.

"I’ve always collected things that reminded me of my childhood. Cars just happened to be the bigger passion out of the collectibles for me."

That outlook resonates with us at RC. We believe the best design is grounded in both function and form—made to work beautifully today and to stand the test of time tomorrow. Bryan reminds us that the idea of longevity isn’t tied to just one thing. It stretches across everything we make, everything we collect, and everything we use.

His perspective is also personal, shaped by early influences and a natural sense of curiosity.

"What really sparked my passion for collecting had to be my mother. She’s also a collector of many things. I think that really was instilled in me at a very young age.”

Whether you’re restoring a vintage car, building a timeless wardrobe, or creating something entirely new, the same principles apply:

• Respect the details—because craftsmanship shows up in the smallest things.
• Value the craft—because making something well will always matter.
• Design for longevity—because what lasts, matters most.

"I just love things that allow me to still feel like a child… In these cars and the toys that I surround myself with, they keep me young."

Bryan’s story proves that the best design isn’t just about how something looks—it’s about the joy, memory, and meaning embedded in the things we choose to make and keep.
