All in the Family

Hello friend,

This coming week, our American friends will be hopping on planes or jumping in the car to return “home” to celebrate Thanksgiving with family. Whether you are part of this kickoff to the holiday season or just experience some of the traditions that go along with it (football, Black Friday shopping, anyone?), it’s got us in a family state of mind. So, we thought it would be fun to explore some women-owned businesses with family ties and we discovered some great familial success stories! 

This week in the newsletter, we introduce you to twins from the fashion industry who found a gap in the market for timeless, classic accessories and we just love the way they filled it; a trio of sisters from Ghana who grew up using shea butter and bring it to you in its most natural form; a sister/brother duo who turned the chai latte market on its head; a woman who pulled her husband into her all natural supplement business, which has skyrocketed to success; and two sisters who are doing their part to keep the art of block printing alive and well. 

If you know an incredible woman who is making waves in fashion, beauty, wellness, food & drink or culture, we want to know about her! We are always on the lookout for exceptional finds from women-owned brands. Simply reply to this email and make an introduction. We may just feature her some day! 

Enjoy!
