Walder Mercantile began as a passion project to inspire creativity and encourage everyone to get out and vote.

What started with handcrafted bracelets has since grown into a Brooklyn-based business offering unique designs and workshops that bring people together through the art of beading. Aly blends creativity with purpose, channeling her zen into meaningful pieces that spark joy and connection—one bead at a time. 

With a background in creative crafting, from developing and executing large-scale, out-of-this-world events for David Stark Design to leading operations and initiatives for the renowned Frankie’s Spuntino Restaurant Group, Aly has always believed that all things creative are deeply personal, no matter the scale. Walder Mercantile brings her back to one-on-one creations that celebrate individuality, passions, and personality in a fun, lighthearted way.
