How'd She Do That?

Today's guest, Hart Hagerty is the founder of HART Jewelry!  Hart founded her jewelry line in 2016. A seventh-generation native Charlestonian, Hart lived abroad in Shanghai, China for five years upon majoring in Chinese and Sociology at Vanderbilt University (2009). After working in advertising in New York City, Hart returned home to launch her jewelry line with great success. After selling thousands of pairs of her signature tassel earrings, she expanded the line under the northstar of “soulful adornment”, including beaded bracelets with mindful mantras and customizable charm jewelry that feels fresh and modern.  When she’s not working, she relishes in the natural beauty of the Lowcountry: sailing with her husband, surfing, hosting porch parties, painting the local flora and chasing after her two young daughters. We know listeners will love hearing about Hart’s journey in today's episode!

On today's episode of HSDT, our host welcomes Kimberly Borges-Rowe & Miriam McDonald the Founders of PWR WMN onto the show. PWR WMN was created by these two best friends who wanted a simple thing: pockets in our blazers. Kim and Miriam grew tired of never having the tools they needed to be 100% ready for business at all times because they never had the pockets for those tools.  The ladies wanted clothes that helped them portray themselves as the Power Women they are, but also help them close deals, so they created PWR WMN. Their clothes don’t hide femininity, they highlight the strength our femininity brings to the table, and the extra pockets don’t hurt either!  No matter if it's a meeting, a lunch, or a business trip: PWR WMN is here to take charge, take ownership of the tools we need to succeed, and take command of the future. A future that's female. With equality and functional pockets for all.

Today's guests Grey and Page Hall are sisters who set out to make the classic silk scarf current! Listeners will enjoy hearing about the sisters travels, experience in product development, and so much more in today's episode. Their grandmother hand-painted silk ties in her heyday. Upon hearing their mom share these stories Grey began to think, 'why couldn’t I use the current technology to produce the same custom feel for silk scarves, while also solving a gap in fashion?' Grey is the talented watercolorist behind the brand, while Page is the Product Development visionary. The quality is at parity with Hermes, but where the ladies breakaway is through the design of storytelling on silk.  Each scarf is packed with intentional design decisions that build upon each other.  Creating a unique scene on silk while integrating print and pattern techniques for a holistic composition.  This is Grey's personal criteria during the creative process.  Each element is hand-painted in watercolors for 100% authentic originality.  Their watercolor storytelling on silk and paper is inspired by travel, nature, the garden, and imagination. We know listeners will enjoy today's episode! It is likely one you'll want to share with a friend!
