Kendra Scott, Jewelry Designer
In 2002, with just $500, Kendra Scott launched a mini jewelry collection. Today, Kendra Scott Jewelry is a global multimillion-dollar brand sold at renowned retailers like Nordstrom, Neiman Marcus, Lord and Taylor, Henri Bendel and over a thousand specialty boutiques worldwide. Austin remains home to Kendra Scott’s flagship store and design studio headquarters, where each Kendra Scott piece is meticulously designed and handcrafted. With the expansion of boutiques in Beverly Hills, Dallas, Houston and Scottsdale, and a showroom in New York, however, Kendra Scott is no longer just a best-kept Texas secret.
Kendra Scott has become a household fashion name to women around the world. Celebrities also love Kendra’s unique, bold designs and Hollywood a-listers like Sofia Vergara, Eva Longoria, Cameron Diaz, Hilary Duff, Katherine Heigl and Brooklyn Decker have been spotted donning Kendra Scott's jewelry.
As the Kendra Scott brand continues to expand, Kendra remains committed to the company’s founding philosophies, “Family, Fashion & Philanthropy”, which have helped direct its course. As a mother and business woman, Kendra’s “family first” mantra continues to be a core value for Kendra and her company. Philanthropy is also a driving force for this fashion-forward and savvy entrepreneur.
