Our Roots

Following the events of 9/11, Kelly, along with friends and family, created Totes for Hope. Simple handmade Bags sold to raise money for the families that were left behind from the events of that day.

All the Bags sold, additional orders were placed and my passion for fabric and design began.

 

The Vision Takes Shape

After creating Bags off and on for over 15 years, I wanted to expand on my own and create a unique shopping experience. My background in retail management, customer service, merchandising and styling has given me the experience and pleasure of working with many women and I missed that one-on-one interaction.

 

Stella-Style on Wheels

After almost a year of renovations executed by my very handy husband, I debuted Stella—a 1983 Shasta transformed into a mobile boutique—on June 5, 2021.

Along with my handmade Bags, I added apparel and accessories for you and your home; many made by other artists. I’ve enjoyed connecting with local clients who are passionate about discovering unique, practical items that fit seamlessly into their everyday lives, while also catering to their fun, creative, and confident sides.
