Natalia Beley has the pleasure of combing through fashion, accessories and home goods from all over the world made by people who use the finest materials and creativity sparked by their unique surroundings and history. "I choose to work with partners who are interested in contributing to the social good of this world, working to ensure artisans are making a living wage capable of support their families," she says. "Some are working to create systems to fight human trafficking and other abuses of humanity all over the world. My goal is to always be on the hunt for beautiful and unique gifts and accessories that I would be excited to give or receive myself." We asked Natalia for her take on fall trends!
1. Trends: neutrals, natural colors, things inspired by nature, dried florals, sustainable accents.
2. Two new jewelry lines we are excited about are Bourbon & Boweties and Power Beads by Jen. These are both women owned businesses that create stylish and fun bracelets made in the USA.
3. We're always looking for products that tie into our goal of sustainable fashion and ethically made goods. We're really intentional about finding small brands that you can't find everywhere. Our customers know that when they shop with us they are supporting small artisan makers from here in Georgia and around the world.
4. Hostess gifts: Of course, our best-selling Mckinnon's Cocktail mixes are the easiest pick. Then people are loving Regina's Farm Kitchen spreads. The sampler has quickly become a customer favorite. And our refillable candles, locally made by Cherokee Rose Candles.
5. So many beautiful pieces from one of our favorite brands, Starfish Project, block printed scarves handmade in India, and chunky beaded bracelets.
