Dare To Dream

One of the first and only designer bags I have ever owned was the Chloe Marcie shoulder bag. I regret ever getting rid of it. One of the first designer shoes I ever had was their scalloped ballet flat. I actually have owned very few true designer items, but I have always loved Chloe. So when my former AGL rep moved over to a new showroom that represented See by Chloe, I thought it was a cosmic sign that it was time to pick up the line. Then maybe someday we can move up to the main line of Chloe as well. Baby steps, right?

I am happy to announce our first seasonal order of See by Chloe has arrived. It was launched in 2001 by the famous designer at Chloe, Phoebe Philo. It is, of course, the sister brand and has the same iconic French insignia. I thought summer was a great place to start with the shoes. I am very hard on shoes, especially in the summer. When it comes to a slip-on sandal that I wear with everything, I don’t like to spend a lot of money. I typically have one pair I wear all the time, and by the end of the season, I have worn them out. See by Chloe is the perfect option. There are great slides, wedges, and a pair of sneakers I am obsessed with.

We are working on bringing in the clothes as well, and maybe one day we will carry the main line. Dare to dream.

Owner | The Hive and The Shoe Hive

I spent the first part of my career as a copywriter who helped elected officials brag about their support for entrepreneurs. Then I decided to get off the printed page and do it myself. The Shoe Hive made a splash on the fashion scene in Washington, and was named the region’s best shoe store in its first year. Fourteen years later, I have tripled the store’s size and also opened a sister store, The Hive.  At The Hive, we offer clothing lines that are sophisticated and approachable like Rag & Bone, Tibi, Raquel Allegra, Ulla Johnson and Veronica Beard. We have tried to fill our racks with clothing you will want to wear all the time, elevated basics that are worth the investment.
