Ellsworth & Ivey
Ellsworth & Ivey is an American womenswear brand with a modern approach to a heritage style. The collection was inspired by the clean and classic style of brand founder, Taylor Ivey’s grandmothers. “My grandmothers were very classic women with a strong sense of style - always poised and confident. They believed that less is more, quality over quantity,” says Ivey, who is also the brand’s designer. “In my designs, I wanted to create something reflecting those values in a more contemporary style. Something we could all appreciate, wear and would stand the test of time.” www.ellsworthandivey.com +1415-890-6406 info@ellsworthandivey.com
