Meet Twin Designers Dexter and Byron Peart

Dexter and Byron Peart

“We’re trying to build something that actually needs to exist.”

Dexter and Byron were both born and raised in Ottawa, Canada. Working in Sales and Marketing for the Canadian Magazine Ocean Drive had exposed Dexter to the industry, while brother Byron studied economics in college. Right out of school he was appointed Diesel’s marketing director.

The WANT Les Essentiels de la Vie brand was founded five years ago by twin brothers Dexter and Byron Peart. WANT Les Essentiels de la Vie is a line of men’s accessories, created with the frequent traveler in mind. Each piece in their collection is named after airports.
