Introducing the original scoundrel: Peggy herself.

99 years young, my grandmother Vivian Rea has been my life-time inspiration. I’m obsessed with her. And why? Because she’s incredible. She’s been a pioneer her entire life. She’s been before her time. She’s lived authentically and has always known who she was and wasn’t afraid to be that. She’s sweet, kind, non-judgmental, thoughtful, sassy, and full of life. She really is and has always been the it girl. For me she represents everything that I and Peggy Workwear aspire to be authentic, community-oriented, rebellious, and kind

In no order, these are a couple fun facts about my grandmother Peggy, a woman I love and have always looked up to.
