Chic, Cool, Unconventional: Completedworks

We all know I love Tibi. There aren’t many days when I am not wearing at least one - if not 3- items that are from Tibi. It is exactly my style, so when the owner of the brand endorses another line, I pay attention. Last fall, when Amy Smilovic came to our store, I noticed her earrings. They were classic hoops but in an unconventional way. When I asked her who they were by, she took them out and said, “Completedworks; you should look into carrying them.” It took me a few months, but I finally connected, and a few weeks ago, we unpacked our first delivery.

Production takes about six months because all the pieces are handmade in London. The founder, Anna Jewsbury, studied Mathematics and Philosophy at Oxford, but throughout her life always obsessed with beautiful objects. In 2013 she started her line with a desire to create something new. She has accomplished her goal; there is nothing else out there like Completedworks; it truly is wearable art and has drawn the attention of the world’s most famous women like Sienna Miller and Suki Waterhouse and luxury retailers like Matches and Net-a-Porter.

I am so excited to bring this line to The Hive. I hope you love the pieces as much as I do.

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.
