Welcome Back, Hunter Bell!

I love using this space to make announcements about brand new lines we are bringing into our stores. But this time, I can't call this line new to The Hive. We had it our first year in business - so we will call it a re-introduction to Hunter Bell. It is a line customers have asked us to bring back, and the timing seemed perfect. Okay, maybe it was not "customers" plural - it was just my friend Courtney who called me and asked incredulously, "why in the world don't you carry Hunter Bell?"

Lucky for me, we were able to get it back and for this fall! To me, it is the quintessential merger of Southern and East Coast style. It's feminine and sophisticated, wearable but detailed, and not something you see all over the place. It is for sure for the woman who has a distinct point of view and just a little bit of flair. This is not basic. Hunter creates her own fabrics, and the silhouettes are uniquely her own.

Hunter Bell lives in Houston, Texas, where she does all her design, but the pieces are produced in New York City's garment district. Founded in 2006, the line boomed after Hunter's appearance on Fashion Star. What started with a sketch pad and a dream after interning for Nanette Lepore and Rebecca Taylor has grown to be an awesome collection carried in over 100 boutiques. I am proud to say that now we are part of those 100 stores, and we won't be dropping the ball anymore and letting a delivery pass us by.

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.
