Brand & Founder Spotlight
LA LIGNE
La Ligne was created in 2016 by American Vogue staffers Meredith Melling and Valerie Macaulay, and former Head of Business Development at Rag & Bone, Molly Howard. Inspired by linear stripes, striped essentials, and statement pieces, the collections reflect the founders’ belief that “the best things in fashion (and life) are universal, timeless and classic, but never off limits for reinvention.” Their knitwear is a wardrobe staple, and always a Marfa Stance favorite.
YENDEN
The concept of Yenden started when designer Jenny den Haritgh was 8 years old, creating jewelry out of shells and beach glass collected on family holidays. Now, the one of a kind handmade jewelry from Yenden fuses elements from the designer’s Mediterranean travels and residence in Miami, New York and Antwerp, distilled into sophisticated, colorful, energetic and eclectic pieces.
TATA HARPER
A pioneer in natural luxury skincare, Tata started her brand in 2010 when she couldn't find 100% natural products that were up to her impeccable standards of efficacy, quality, and purity. So, she started Tata Harper Skincare to make them for herself and for women like her who refuse to risk their health for beauty. If she doesn’t feel that a product is perfect, we won’t launch it. This next generation of beauty gives visible results, does not take shortcuts and is of the highest quality, an ethos Marfa Stance strongly supports.
TERESA TARMEY
With over 25 years' experience, Vogue’s “super-facialist” and former global skin expert for Dior, Teresa Tarmey is widely known for her results-driven, clinically-backed treatments and less-is-more philosophy. Her innovative approach to skincare has achieved cult-like status, attracting a wealth of industry insiders and A-list clients alike.
Based between London and the Cotswolds, her clinics offer a variety of cutting-edge treatments, which Teresa and her team tailor-make to target your individual skin needs. Using her unparalleled knowledge, and the highest quality ingredients, Teresa has also created a range of highly effective skincare products designed to bring the unique experience of her clinics to thousands of homes across the world. Don't miss the chance to meet Teresa for her debut in The Hamptons!
ANOTHER TOMORROW
Started in 2018, Vanessa Barboni’s mission was to create a truly sustainable and compassionate company with a three-pronged approach of providing a foundational wardrobe of ethically and responsibly made clothing, education, and a platform for activism to amplify their collective voices. Another Tomorrow is a foundational wardrobe, intended to push boundaries with strong, sophisticated and sensual collections that are exquisitely crafted and tailored using meticulously-sourced custom materials.
FEWER FINER
Fewer Finer is a Brooklyn-based brand that was founded in 2018 by Madison Snider, specializing in signature designs, curated vintage and custom works. They focus on high end pieces for everyday wear, and their blend of sentimental value with minimalist casual luxury led to the perfect balance of elegance, quality and comfort. Madison and Georgia have been supporting each other since they were running their brands as a one woman show and are excited to come together in person for this special event.
LINGUA FRANCA
This luxury cashmere brand all started with a stitch, when founder Rachelle Hrushka MacPherson turned to embroidery on an old cashmere sweater, and accidentally embarked on journey that today is a line of sustainably-sourced, fair trade luxury cashmere sweaters. Founded in 2016, Lingua Franca’s signature sweaters are hand-embroidered in NYC with thought-provoking and culturally resonant phrases, which quickly cultivated a strong following among leaders in the fields of entertainment, art, and politics. Luminaries including Candice Bergen, Meryl Streep, Joan Didion, Reese Witherspoon, Huma Abedin, Ai Weiwei and Martha Stewart embraced the brand for their outspoken commitment to sustainable slow fashion, artisanship and giving back. To date, the brand has raised over a million dollars for more than 227 charities. Since its inception, Lingua Franca has expanded to include ready-to-wear collections, which maintain their passion for ethically sourced, luxury textiles, and expand upon their well-known embroidery esthetic in new and playful ways.
LUCY DELIAS
Introducing a new breed of jewelry brand, founder Lucy Delius focuses on ethically sourced materials with a focus on longevity, classic silhouettes, and shapes each with their own modern point of difference. Her collection will sit seamlessly with items you already own; designs that reference and respect what has come before but are truly modern in their sentiment. Lucy makes her pieces in India and Thailand as well as being able to offer a bespoke, handmade service in London. From Notting Hill to Verbier and now The Hamptons, they’re excited for Lucy to join them from London.
HER HIGHNESS
This brand's co-founders, Allison Krongard and Laura Eisman, craved a premium cannabis experience infused with a sense of play, delivered with style. No one was doing this. So, they did it. They each brought to the table their experience and success launching and building female minded companies. They set out to reverse the stigma. It was time for cannabis to rise and meet women at their level. It was their pleasure, and now it is all yours.
Her Highness products are thoughtfully (and stylishly) designed through the female lens, addressing women’s pain and pleasure points and working harmoniously with the female body. From the highly coveted packaging, to striking the perfect balance of smart, sexy and witty to describe each product and experience. Their products are made from premium materials that deliver a clean experience you can trust, with naturally derived ingredients; never any parabens, sulfates, phthalates or aluminum.
MALIA MILLS
Where do you go when you want beautiful swimwear that is ethically made and crafted with the utmost skill and care? Malia Mills is the answer. Since 1993 each piece has been crafted in local communities by multiple generations of families working together - women and men who specialize in working with their hands and hearts to spread, cut, sew and hand finish each style with love.
LALELA
Lalela Scarf was originally created by Sandy Tabatznik to financially sustain Lalela, a nonprofit founded in 2010 that provides after-school arts education for youth from under-resourced communities in South Africa and Zimbabwe. The designs on Lalela scarves and pajamas are all original pieces of artwork created by Lalela students and 100% of the profits from each sale go back to Lalela, making the brand just as impactful as it is beautiful. In the last year, Lalela Scarf has expanded to include Lalela Marketplace, a space where they share pieces from their favorite South African artisans with all profits going back to Lalela.
DONA VEGA
Founded by Sonya Vega and produced by Mexican women who set out to make mezcal more accessible and approachable, this mezcal brand is produced in a small town outside Oaxaca by a family who has passed down the tradition for five generations. The classic Mexican spirit has been reinterpreted for a new generation of mezcal lovers. Organic and handcrafted in small-batches, Dona Vega is remarkably smooth and versatile mezcal featuring notes of light smoke with undertones of fruit and a white pepper finish. Don't miss the chance to try it for yourself.
