Meet Judith, an impeccable shop with an incredible staff. I love how Brooke mentions mentorship below, as she has been something of a mentor to me as well! We absolutely adore working with her and everyone at Judith, and wish we could teleport out to Maine for monthly visits.
I was a clothing designer for almost 10 years in New York City, during which time I worked with some really inspiring independent store owners. Some of them were willing to let me pick their brains over drinks, after hours & I took notes, seeking out advice, information, connection & references.
When we decided it was time to leave NYC we looked for an up & coming, creative city where my husband could do what he was doing at the time (business development) & that we thought could sustain the sort of store I had dreamt Judith to be…I wanted to do something that I would be excited & inspired to find in the city but in a place that allowed for the time & space to really breathe it all in.
I loved designing, especially with my mentor & creative director Susie Cho, but I always knew I wanted to use my technical & styling background to have a shop of my own one day; where I could tell the stories of my designers & their processes & work with clients directly.
with us in 2016 in our original space on Market St:) Did we meet at a trade show? I cannot imagine not knowing you and your line but also can’t remember how it all began!
ice cream. And you cannot get them to go…I have asked.
