International Women's Day
Why We Celebrate
International Women's Day is a global day to celebrate the achievements of women worldwide and acknowledge the continued work of equality and empowerment. At Nickel & Suede, empowerment is being encouraged and supported to go after the best version of yourself. They say empowered women empower women, and Nickel & Suede is proud to partner with these female-founded brands that live up to their mission to inspire and empower other women.
BEHIND THE DESIGN
Color Story
Our Ecru leather was chosen for its versatility and neutral color, making it an ideal choice for everyday wear. At the same time, Orchid is a bold and unique pop of color that is bound to brighten any outfit or occasion.
Apparel for All
We chose a wearable and versatile black sweatshirt with a bright Orchid pop of color for our exclusive My Girl Stories sweatshirt to align with Jasmine's vision of versatile and comfortable apparel for all sizes.
Design Elements
Both of our Moxie Harper and Felicity Isla statement styles feature sketchbook-inspired design elements that can be seen throughout Ampersand Design Studio's extensive collection of wall prints, home decor, and apparel.
ABOUT THE CREATORS
Nickel & Suede
Kilee Nickels
Kilee Nickels founded Nickel & Suede to create statement earrings that are comfortable to wear and instantly create confidence. She didn't start with a mission to empower women, but it didn't take long to see her designs' effect on customers. Wearing the earrings made them feel brave and inspired them to step out of their comfort zone, and the feeling was contagious and spread to other women. That confidence, and empowerment that comes with it, is the driving force behind every Nickel & Suede collection.
My Girl Stories
Jasmine Green
Jasmine of My Girl Stories is a nationally recognized influencer, content creator, and social strategist. She began My Girl Stories with a mission to connect and empower women through storytelling and shared experiences. Her boutique promotes size inclusivity and aims to design apparel for women of all sizes that is versatile, easy to style, and comfortable to wear.
