owner, Malene Davis
"the beehive" is a unique retail concept originally called
"Beehive Co-op" in that started in Atlanta, Georgia,
in 2004. In early 2010, the store was
acquired by an existing Atlanta designer who sought to take the
collective designers and its image to greater heights.
Having successfully tackled her own entrepreneurial endeavor in jewelry design,
this businesswoman,
Malene Davis, forged her vision together with other designers to
keep top quality handmade culture and mentality alive and well in
her city.
With a 2600 square foot store located in the
bustling Edgewood Retail District, the beehive is
a place where customers can come, relax, and learn about the people
and processes that went into making the beautiful items in the
store.
who is the
beehive designer?
the beehive
is a community; it is more than just
four walls that house products for sale. It is truly
a place
where entrepreneurs - of every level -
can get support they need to
make their
businesses better.
the beehive designer creates a product line
that is innovative,
stylish, modern, and often sustainable. Their line is most
likely targeted
toward a niche market or specific demographic, which
allows us
to have the greatest variety of independently designed products, all
under
one roof.
the beehive designer does not mind being challenged, and
consistently seeks to grow the visibility and innovativeness of
their brand, as
well as that of the store.
Finally, the beehive designers - collectively - are
as diverse as the
product selection in the store:
We
are all ages, colors and cultures, synergically combined to provide
the best example of all that
a designer community can be. |
