Women supporting women in business has always been a passion and motivating force during my career. From the time I started as an Employment Consultant, helping people back into the workforce, to turning Recruiter and then into Executive HR roles, supporting, mentoring and leveraging other women to rise us up, was integral to my day.
When I started Atelier, this value carried forward from who I worked with to businesses and products I supported. My special collaboration with HauteCoton was amazing and I've been brewing up more over the past few months. Now the next is in sight, as on Friday, we launch a collaboration with Maison de Chabris.
Founder Bromley is a Canadian who transported herself to France a few years ago, grabbing a slice of magic in the French countryside. Looking for a break from urban Toronto, she landed in the Loire area of France, bought a "sleeping beauty" period home and has been re-inventing the space ever since. She shares this life with four wonderful pups, a horse, and in her spare time, treasure hunts across the French countryside at brocantes and antique shops. We have so much in common!
Every time I land in the area, we manage to brocante together, with a pup in tow and the largest cart produced on the planet - typically it barely holds the treasures we find! I knew from the first meeting I wanted to work with Bromley and I'm humbled by this opportunity to share 8 very special, French antiques from her collection in tomorrow's vintage drop!
If you could see me now, you'd see a very happy person with the cheesiest grin on her face - France, vintage and friends - it doesn't get any better for me.
