Classic & Curious

Grandmillennial Style has always been part of our essence and like all design and style messaging, its’ unique characteristics pull from past influences and re-introduce themselves with a current POV.   You can see examples of this style illustrated in bold patterns, heirloom furniture and tableware, raffia and needlepoint.  It is not a sense of clutter or over-done style, it is well-edited and has purpose. 

In this episode we have one of the most noteworthy influencers behind Grandmillennial Style, Alexa Archibald from Charm Lane.  Charm Lane is a lifestyle brand inspiring grandmillennial tastemakers with finds in home décor, fashion, accessories and gifts.  Alexa has curated a brand that has created loyalty and love for a blue and white life!

Alexa started Charm Lane after working in the tech industry and corporate fashion worlds.  She worked for two classic prep style brands Lilly Pulitzer and J Crew.  She then moved on to leading global teams at Facebook and Instagram.  This portfolio of experience combined with her own personal style, attributed to the creation of Charm Lane.

Charm Lane has over 161,000 followers, it is apparent Alexa’s influence is one that grand millennials adore!
