Happy Women’s History Month and International Women’s Day (March 8), cuties! As a female entrepreneur, one of my favorite things is connecting with fellow women doing exciting and innovative things as founders, business leaders, and industry change-makers. And in that vein, I have a really special giveaway to share with you all!
“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!”
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!
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.
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.
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?
Farmgirl Flowers, Founded by Christina Stembel
Spring is just around the corner, which means it’s time for fresh floral arrangements to become a regular part of your home decor. Enter Farmgirl Flowers, who are contributing a $250 Gift Card to our Women’s History Month Giveaway!
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
Here at KKH, we often talk about the fact that “home” should be a place where you feel safe, loved, and nourished…and I feel like cooking at home is a huge piece of that puzzle! Cooking is a major passion of mine and there’s nothing I love more than gathering with loved ones for a home-cooked meal…which is why I’m so thrilled that Great Jones Goods is contributing a Double Dutch Large & Small Dutch Oven Set (a $220 value) to our Giveaway!
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.”
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.
Harlem Candle Co., Founded by Teri Johnson
Longtime KKH fans and Kuotes readers may recall that, before we had our Tribeca Interior Design Showroom, we had an office and showroom in Harlem—so I definitely have a spot in my heart for the neighborhood and for businesses based there. On that note, I am thrilled that the oh-so-lovely Harlem Candle Co. is giving a Botanical Collection Candle Set (a $240 value) to our Women’s History Month Giveaway prize package!
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
Is there anything more luxurious that bespoke bedding? If your answer (like mine) is a resounding “nope!” than you’re going to be just as excited as I am about the fact that Look Linen Co. is giving a $500 Gift Card to our prize package!
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.
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.
Sail to Sable, Founded by Jennifer Stocker
Anyone who knows me well knows I love fashion almost as much as I love home furnishing, so I knew our female-founded giveaway needed to include a clothing brand…and I’m so excited that our friends at Sail to Sable joined us to give a $500 Gift Card to this special campaign.
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.”
Te Sail to Sable brand prides itself on being dedicated to designing pieces that are “beautiful, but also able to move with your lifestyle.” Their female-founded and -run team understands that functionality is key to well-designed clothing, and it’s devoted to the mission of taking the “guesswork” out of growing your core wardrobe.
Salt by Sabrina, Founded by Sabrina Gardner
One of my favorite things about working in the home and design world is connecting with pros in home categories other than interior design—home is so multifaceted and I love it when I find a brand doing great work that supports the vision of a safe, loving, and nurturing home. Salt by Sabrina specializes in beautiful, upscale home organization tools and they are generously giving an Acrylic Utensil Caddy (a $150 value) and a $150 Gift Card to our giveaway!
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.
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.
Slate Flosser, Founded by Brynn Snyder
Any brand that leads with the mission of making flossing easier and better has my attention—oral health is a huge facet of personal wellness and we should all be taking it just as seriously as we take skincare, eating healthy, and exercise! So trust me when I say, Slate Flosser’s contribution to our prize package—a Couple’s Pack (valued at $200) and a $100 Gift Card—will be a game changer.
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!
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.
