Read on to learn all about our Women's History Month giveaway campaign and our eight wonderful partners—and be sure to enter to win any time between now and March 16, 2025!"This year, to celebrate Women's History Month, I have partnered with eight amazing female-founded brands—all from different categories of the lifestyle space, from apparel to florals, and more!—and a prize package valued over $3,000!"
Kathy Kuo Home, Founded by Kathy Kuo
First: I am delighted to share that KKH will be giving a $500 gift card to the prize package for our Women's History Month giveaway! And also, in case you're a new Kuotes reader (welcome!), I wanted to first share a bit about how I founded Kathy Kuo Home back in 2012.It's been an amazing journey of growth and discovery, and I truly believe that KKH would not be where it is today without the support, guidance, inspiration, and knowledge-sharing of other female founders!
With the mission that everyone should be able to love where they live, and noticing a gap in the marketplace for being able to easily and securely buy luxury furniture online, I started KKH in 2012 as an e-commerce retail destination for high-end home furnishings and decor essentials (and I was literally working out of my basement, I should add!). Eventually, the retail side came to be supported by a robust menu of Interior Design Services, a dedicated Trade Program, and a physical Interior Design Studio in Manhattan’s Tribeca neighborhood, which opened in the fall of 2024.
Dagne Dover, Founded by Jessy Dover, Deepa Gandhi, and Melissa Mash
Okay, so I really sad I am not eligible to win this giveaway, because my dear friends at Dagne Dover are giving their Seattle Carry-On Luggage, in a color of the winner's choice, (a $625 value) to the prize package—I am truly obsessed with everything Dagne Dover sells, and their new luggage offerings are just so gorgeous, as well as practical.
The brand is rooted in the core values of sustainability and great design ("problem-solving bags for problem-solving people"), and they offer a wide range of silhouettes and colorways—what more could you want?Dagne Dover was founded by Jessy Dover, Deepa Gandhi, and Melissa Mash in 2013 with the goal and mission of being a company aimed at making lives easier through empathy and good design.
Farmgirl Flowers, Founded by Christina Stembel
Founded in 2010 by Christina Stembel (who was born and raised on a farm in Indiana—she is literally the Farm Girl of Farmgirl Flowers) with the business model of picking from the best that their floral growers have to offer and offering burlap-wrapped (so much more sustainable than single-use plastic wrap) bouquet arrangement that can ship internationally.
Without any funding from outside investors, Christina has grown her brand into a large-scale, woman-owned and predominantly women-led e-commerce flower company, all while staying true to her goals of combatting waste in the floral industry and delivering floral arrangements made with heart and filled with the best, freshest, seasonal blooms.
Great Jones Goods, Founded by Sierra Tishgart
The brand is known and loved for their colorful and stylish cookware pieces—including Dutch ovens, sheet pans, electric kettles, fry pans, and sauce pans, as well as innovative collaborations with women in the food world like Molly Baz Claire Saffitz, and Adeena Sussman.Founded by Sierra Tishgart in 2018, Great Jones Goods is a women-run, New York-based small business that "wants to equip and empower you to cook at home—and make your kitchen your happy place."
Harlem Candle Co., Founded by Teri Johnson
Originally from Texas, and with a longstanding love fragrance thanks to influences from her favorite aunt's perfume collection, Harlem Candle Co. founder Teri Johnson started the brand by making candles out of her kitchen in 2014.
Teri aims to "celebrate the vibrant legacy of Harlem through a trio of innovative companies, each inspired by the rich cultural and artistic heritage of Harlem’s Golden Age." She added Harlem Perfume Co. to her portfolio in 2022 and continues to grow as she uses the power of scent to tell a story rooted in time and place.Look Linen Co., Founded by Sylvia Longoria Dorsey, Elizabeth Dorsey Fertitta & Lizzie Kappler
Founded in 2024 by Texans Sylvia Longoria Dorsey, Elizabeth Dorsey Fertitta, and Lizzie Kappler—all longtime friends—Look Linen Co. was born when Sylvia and Elizabeth’s (a mother-daughter team) home decor boutique and Lizzie's fine bedding collection joined forces blending Sylvia and Elizabeth’s seasoned sourcing and retail expertise with Lizzie’s eye for aesthetics and dedication to detail.Since officially partnering together, the three female founders have scaled Look Linen Co. into a "destination for personalized finery." The brand’s thoughtful curation of monogram styles and abbreviated lead times put custom linens within reach.
Sail to Sable, Founded by Jennifer Stocker
Founded by Jennifer Stocker in 2012 (the same year as KKH!), Sail to Sable started as a collection of timeless tunics inspired by Jennifer's travels. Over the past decade, Sail to Sable has grown into a national staple for women looking to "elevate their everyday classics."
Salt by Sabrina, Founded by Sabrina Gardner
Aside from offering high-quality organization products that address a specific home need and look gorgeous doing so, I also love that Salt by Sabrina is committed to giving back and helping others feel at peace and at home: A portion of the proceeds from every drawer organizer sold benefits America's Kids Belong, an organization dedicated to finding permanent homes for children in the foster care system.Sabrina Gardner created Salt by Sabrina in 2020 to "instill peace and restore household order through beautiful, functional and personal designs." Each piece her brand offers is unique to your organizational journey and her mission is to help your life as a whole feel more calm and organized.
Slate Flosser, Founded by Brynn Snyder
As co-founder and acting CEO, Brynn and her women-run team at Slate are working to ensure that "everyone learns the incredible benefits of this ground-breaking tool." One of the primary reasons that people of all ages don't floss as much as they should (and all my readers out there with young kids can attest to this doubly!) is because it's a pain and it takes too long. Slate's mission is to truly make it a breeze to get a fast, comfortable, and effective floss every day.Founded by Brynn Snyder and her husband Dr. Danny Snyder, a dentist and inventor, Slate Flosser promises to be the best and more effective electric flosser on the market; it's truly dentist developed, as well as dentist- and hygienist-reviewed, approved, and peer-reviewed!
