LIGHT, PURPOSE, AND THE JOURNEY
The Heart Behind Sol Kalitri
Sol Kalitri was born from two people who believed in turning creativity into connection and purpose into something you can feel. As founders, partners, and parents, Cortez and Debra Vassar built this brand the same way they’ve built their life together — with intention, teamwork, and love at the center.
What started as a simple desire to create meaningful, handcrafted products quickly grew into something much bigger. Debra brought the artistry, and the drive to build something their family could be proud of. Cortez brought the heart, the detail, and the steady strength that keeps everything grounded. Together, they poured their passion into their shared vision, and their creativity into every candle, every sweatshirt, every design, and every sunflower drip.
Sol Kalitri is more than a brand for them.
It’s a reflection of their journey — balancing family, ambition, purpose, and hard work. It’s a testament to showing their children what it looks like to chase a dream with integrity, intention, and faith. And it’s a gift back to the community that continues to support and uplift them.
Cortez and Debra believe in creating products that make people feel something — seen, inspired, uplifted, valued. Every piece represents light and authenticity, wrapped in the warmth of the Dripping Sunflower that symbolizes their belief: growth isn’t perfect, but it’s beautiful.
Together, they invite you into their world of creativity, purpose, and sunshine.
Welcome to Sol Kalitri — where every creation is made with heart, intention, and love.
