Brands Behind the Box: June Happy Mail!

It is always such a treat to share the Creative Club Happy Mail box with our members each month, but our June box is especially exciting because it features ALL female founded brands! From long time favorites like Kayce Hughes Art, Lele Sadoughi, Neely & Chloe, and Tuckernuck to new discoveries like Callie’s Little Biscuits and All in the Detail, this box is full of our very favorite things from some truly incredible companies! Check out the stories behind each of this month’s brand partners as well as our favorite products from their collections below, and head over to the Creative Club website to score your Happy Mail box today!

Kayce Hughes

If you have been a follower of ours in the past, you know it’s no secret we are in awe of our incredibly talented and dear friend, Kayce Hughes, and her stunning artwork! Everything Kayce dreams up in her Nashville based studio is perfectly unique and whimsical. Hughes’ eye for design began in college as she studied studio art and continued to develop during her time in the fashion world, before dedicating her full time career to her biggest passion, creating art, in 2016. We are proud to have pieces by Kayce displayed throughout our home and office, and we cannot WAIT for our members to join in on the art collecting fun as well! Check out some of our very favorite pieces currently on Kayce’s website, and be on the lookout for her $125 art restock happening in mid June just in time to spend your gift card!

All in the Detail

All in the Detail owner and Creative Club member, Michelle Carvalho, set out a year ago to start her own women’s clothing store with the goal of bringing affordable fashion to the every day woman. Today, Michelle’s online boutique is filled with classic day dresses, pattern happy blouses, and the most darling accessories at a price point accessible to every shopper! In Michelle’s words, she described her store and mission like this: “To me, fashion is not only about clothes. It's a way to express yourself and a way to be artistic. What we wear tells the world a lot about who we are as a person, what we think of ourselves, and who we aspire to become. Fashion gives us the confidence to conquer the everyday.” Check out some of the pieces we are crushing on from this darling boutique below!

Neely and Chloe

Sister design duo, Neely and Chloe Burch, have a passion for creating timeless and sophisticated handbags, luggage, and accessories for the classic, modern day customer. They believe that “luxury should never be out of reach”, which is why the two have quickly become known for their high quality designs that boast a very accessible price tag. While their pieces are designed to be classic and understated, the impeccable craftsmanship of each design shines brightly as a testament to their mission. We fell in love with Neely and Chloe the second we got our hands on their to-die-for Vanity Case, and now we cannot get enough of these special, hand crafted pieces that transcend just one season! Although it was hard to just choose a couple, take a peek at our very favorite pieces from their collection below!

Callie’s Hot Little Biscuit

Carrie Morey, owners and founder of Callie’s Hot Little Biscuit, started her business in 2006 as a way to bring her mother’s signature biscuit recipe to breakfast lovers across the country. Morey's company has since grown a cult-like following for its unmatched, delicious recipes that ship right to customers’ doors or can be purchased in flagship and retail stores all around the United States. Callie’s Hot Little Biscuit’s motto is simple - they are a “handmade biscuit company with a small family of bakers, keeping the tradition of southern biscuit making alive, and baking hot little biscuits for your table as well as our own.” We promise, once you try these traditional buttermilk biscuits once, you’ll never look back!

Tuckernuck

There’s nothing we love more than the ease of a one stop shop, and Tuckernuck is no exception! Named after a small island off the coast of Nantucket, Tuckernuck was founded by two sisters and a close friend who saw the need for a store that reflected their collective “classic yet modern lifestyle”, so in 2012, the trio quit their day jobs and founded their own brand. Almost 10 years later, Tuckernuck has grown into a highly notable online retailer recognized by many for their carefully curated collections for men, women, and the home. As avid Tuckernuck customers ourselves, we especially adore the mix of big designers like as Tory Burch and Kate Spade paired next to smaller companies like Mirth and Tuckernuck’s own in house brand. Check out some of our current favorite picks below!

Lele Sadoughi

Statement accessories might be one of the hardest things to resist when we’re shopping, so it is no surprise we have been crushing on Lele Sadoughi’s swoon-worthy collection of headbands, jewelry, eyewear, and hats for quite some time now! Former Jewelry Design Director for Tory Burch, Lele Sadoughi, stepped out on her own to create her initial line of jewelry in 2012. Since then, Sadoughi’s collection has grown into the “ultimate accessories destination” for the woman who loves to be bold. Known for her playful and embellished knotted headbands and eye catching jewelry that will take any outfit to the next level, we always know that we can find the perfect accessory from Sadoughi’s ever changing and whimsical collection. Take a peek at some of the pieces that are currently at the tippy top of our wish list!
