A shared passion for travel, living with intent and great design led Atlanta women Chris Hutcheson and Christie Shepard to launch online lifestyle marketplace Dear Keaton in May of 2016. Dear Keaton offers a mix of home décor and accessories that exemplify the duo’s vision of a destination that offers a beautiful mix of products that bring a relaxed, resort feel to the everyday.
Dear Keaton, which will be celebrating its first anniversary on May 20th,features a unique mix of luxury home decor brands and global wares. The offerings include rattan furniture, indoor and outdoor rugs, hand block printed pillows, African baskets, Turkish towels, jewelry, kaftans, straw hats and more. The site currently offers over 1000 products with new additions being introduced each week.
The name Dear Keaton is a nostalgic nod to the past, when travelers shared the sights, sounds and senses of distant locales with loved ones back home with a quick handwritten note. A simple “wish you were here” that would momentarily transport the reader to another place. Dear Keaton is Chris and Christie’s postcard to the community, postcard, sharing their latest global finds. They love sharing artisan stories and the skills required to make their goods, which is why approximately half of the products on the site are artisan made, sustainable and fair trade.
