A new vision
for accessory.
Defined by precise form, a texture of polished ridges, and unusual construction and functionality—Vision Of Self represents a diverse exploration of the dynamic potential and uniqueness we all have as human beings, embracing the power of intention, embodiment, and personal dreams that shape our story and future selves.
Hand-written personalization.
There's nothing more powerful than handwritten words. Handwriting on paper possesses a special purity and intimacy that profoundly affects our emotions, memory, and brain. It also provides clarity, focus, and gives life to our thoughts and words. Think historical documents, famous journals & diaries, love letters, protest signs and things that are burned into our collective conscience because they were written down.
Embodiment.
Wearing Vision Of Self isn’t just a style statement; the message inside says it all. When you wear it as a constant reminder, a personal symbol, or a tangible connection to the things you choose to handwrite—you allow it to become part of you, creating a deep and meaningful connection to it.
Our vision.
Our vision is to introduce a new generation’s language into the practice of intentionality, mindfulness, and empowerment—inspiring a diverse, modern community through a unique accessory that serves as a bridge and catalyst for personal growth, elevated achievement, and self-fulfillment—without compromising style.

Our story.
Vision Of Self began as a feeling, not as an idea, by multi-hyphenate creator and New York City native Bernard Smith during a personal journey. After spending most of his life in the thick of NYC and the fashion industry, Bernard sought new beginnings by embarking on solo travel across Latin/South America. It was there that he created the first Vision Of Self piece to help re-align his energy and guide his focus—keeping him inspired, committed, and connected to his ever-evolving intentions, goals, and dreams, without compromising his personal style.
