Designer Kate Seavey conceived of her fabulous Holly bag while completing a last-minute addition to a series of sketches for a design class in college. She created the bag late one night in preparation for a presentation the next morning, and it was a hit! Kate’s good friend Holly placed the first order (of many!), and the Holly bag was born.
As versatile as it is stylish, the Holly bag can be worn casually, with a tee shirt and jeans to a Saturday afternoon matinee, or formally, with a cocktail dress while going out for drinks that same evening. For added versatility, you can choose your own fabric colors for your Holly bag–making the bag truly one of a kind!
Quirky and fun, Kate’s the kind of person we would want to invite to a dinner party. In her own words: "All of the other kids wanted to be doctors or firefighters when they grew up. I wanted to be a mermaid."

Designer Katherine Babin loves creating jewelry with vintage finds, like this Clef de Coeur key. She’s curious about the key’s mysterious past, wondering what it was made to open–a door, a jewelry box, a hope chest, a diary?
Allow the Clef de Coeur to unlock the door to your imagination. Throw it on with some jeans and a tee for a more casual look or even a funky dress to balance out the femininity of the piece.
Fun fact about Katherine? She was in an after school special type video about anti-inhalants when she was twelve years old. Her big line: "No thanks, I don’t do stuff like that. It sounds sort of dangerous." To this day, her sisters won’t let her live that one down.

Designer Cathy Jordan paired these beautiful faceted onyx stones with sterling silver and gold filled hoops to evoke a "mod" 60s look. Stylish, yet simple, the Onyx Hoop earrings are one of Cathy’s best selling styles.
With 70s and 80s retro looks coming back into fashion, Cathy recommends pairing the earrings with a short skirt or skinny jeans and high boots.
Why Cathy rocks our world: When she was pregnant, her water broke in the middle of the night, and her husband was in New Orleans on business. So, instead of calling a friend to pick her up, she drove HERSELF to the hospital. Gotta love a girl with guts.

The design inspiration for this bracelet came from designer Ari Kuperman’s garden, which in the spring is full of gorgeous red poppies.
Fun fact about Ari? When she was younger, she and a few friends covered themselves with mud at the Dead Sea. But don’t try this at home–after the mud dries, it stings like crazy!

The lock and key motif is adorable, but what really makes this necklace special is the diamond concealed in the key hole. Undercover chic.

Designer Anne Maa craves nature. And reflecting on her Chrysacola and Birch Leaf necklace, she says, "What’s better then to put that nature with wrapped stones and string them on a long chain to play with."
Anne recommends pairing the long necklace with a deep v-neckline and adds that it looks great layered with other shorter necklaces.
Fun facts about Anne? She doesn’t like cheese, has a fear of joining any clubs…and of sour fruits, and she wears open toed shoes and sandals all year round.

Designer Beth Abdallah created these earrings for the independent woman who is content to sit alone in a Thai restaurant eating noodles and reading poetry. The lightweight earrings work equally well with rich, asian silk brocades as they do with batiks and soft linens. The Chinese Wood Bead Earrings also know how to dress up a basic tee and jeans.
Fun fact about Beth? She’s afflicted (or blessed–the jury’s still out) with the inability to control herself from playing in the rain and jumping with gusto into puddles.

The design inspiration behind the best-selling Candy Green Ring was really more of a shape exploration. The simplicity of the ring combined with the unique vibrant color found in chrysophase has created a real winner.
The green ring lends itself well to neutrals–greys, khakis, browns, and of course, white.
Fun fact about Claudette? She doesn’t wear prints…and avoids them like the plague. She’s an accessories girl who leans towards solid basic pieces that she can dress up with fun belts, colorful jewelry, and unique shoes and handbags.
