Anna Bedell’s. My sister suggested the name And it stuck like molasses. So sweet I could almost taste it. It was empowering, mere perfection. This business, the culmination of myriad Daydreams and sweet ambition would be the name of the two strongest women I knew.
My grandmother, Anna. European immigrant. Strong. Intoxicatingly beautiful. Wise. Thick German accent. A laugh that would fill the room. She was the epitome of classic with a heart of unwavering compassion. She was my grace, my protector and guide. She was the loveliest, bravest woman I knew.
My great grandmother Bedell. A southern Appalachian woman. Humble. Hard as nails. Funny and gentle. She smelled of sweet butter with a personality that made you want more. Farmer, Gardener, mother, protector, comedian-she was the matriarch. She was everything we needed and more.
Anna Bedell’s began as a dream, became a brick and mortar boutique and evolved into an online community of everyday women – a savvy style society with an original aesthetic. An online business that I get to share alongside my childhood best friend.
Much like my grandmothers, the Anna Bedell‘s woman has a closet of cherished collectibles that reflect her eclectic lifestyle. She is a mother, a workaholic, a comedian, an artist, a philanthropist, a guide, a blossoming matriarch. Whether she knows it or not, she is the strongest person and someone’s life. She deserves some ease.
So for her – for you – we take the fuss out of shopping by offering a hand-picked collection of coveted items. At Anna Bedell’s we believe in highly practical and appealing options for the busy working mothers.
Life is all about adding in the good things. My hope is that your Anna Bedell’s treasures become some of your best.
Happy Shopping,
Brooke + Caroline
