Meet the Business Owner
Oliver S.
Business Owner
Oliver Shuttlesworth is the Founder of ESPEROS, a socially conscious contemporary
lifestyle brand based in Austin, Texas that produces high quality, functional, and stylish
bags and accessories.
Prior to founding ESPEROS, Oliver received his Communications degree at The
University of Texas at Austin. Out of school, he worked in advertising before getting the
urge to pursue something meaningful that he was passionate about. Several trips to
Central America heightened his awareness for local children’s lack of access to
education and the debilitating effects of extreme poverty. He wanted to create a
sustainable solution that would help equip children in the developing world with the tools
needed to build a brighter future for themselves and their communities.
Inspired, Oliver returned to Austin and launched ESPEROS in 2012. His vision was to
build a consumer driven solution that sells timeless bags and accessories to aid children
around the world with education.
