A week ago, we opened our Charleston store and celebrated the only way we knew how—by bringing together interior designers, local tastemakers, and members of the community for a series of thoughtfully curated events. From elegant dinners to coastal adventures and an exciting grand opening, every detail was designed to reflect the charm and warmth of our new home on King Street—read along for all the special details.

Celebrating Our Charleston Grand Opening

The Dreamiest Dinner

To kick off the celebrations, we gathered some of Charleston’s most inspiring interior designers and tastemakers for an intimate dinner at Chez Nous. From the French-inspired menu to the chicest table details—including embroidered linen napkins, custom matchbooks, and moody florals—it was the perfect blend of elegance and Southern charm.

Sailing In Style

Next, we took to the water with a group of Charleston-based influencers. Sporting our favorite Chloe Crewneck, guests boarded for a serene morning sail. The experience began with a guided meditation as we floated along the harbor, followed by a relaxed celebration featuring Chandon wine, chips, and caviar. It was a moment to soak in the beauty of Charleston—and toast to new beginnings.
