Two Brands, Endless Possibilities. Join us this weekend for a special trunk show featuring Tanya Taylor and Monbouquette Jewelry—two innovative, female-founded brands designed with busy women in mind. Meet the Monbouquette founders in-store, explore the new Tanya Taylor collection, and enjoy 20% off both lines through Saturday.

What clients often don’t see is the behind-the-scenes collaboration that makes this magic happen. One of our most valued relationships is with Dianna Gniadek Owen of Owen Design Lines, a local to-the-trade textile representative whose boutique lines help us cultivate truly unique interiors.

Sotheby’s International Realty recently explored how the personality of each of the “Big Four” fashion capitals is reflected not only in style but also in architecture and design.

Meet Sarah, Stylebook’s social media manager and Alexandria native whose work helped grow our TikTok following by thousands (yes, she’s behind that viral Spite House reel). From high school fundraisers that built water wells in Haiti to her current role at Active Minds, Sarah’s journey blends creativity, community, and purpose.

I can’t wait to welcome Monbouquette to The Hive, Sept 18–20. Their jewelry transforms in the most unexpected ways, and after 22 years in business, I’ve never seen anything like it.
