Designer, founder, and philanthropist Kendra Scott started her company in 2002, just three months after her first son was born. Her commitment to innovation, quality, customer service, and detail has taken her from a small startup to a billion-dollar brand. With over 2,600 employees and more than 130 standalone stores, Kendra Scott is known for its design and material innovation, use of color, and signature shapes. Today, Kendra Scott offers Fashion, Demi-Fine, and Fine Jewelry, watches, engagement rings, fragrance, home accessories, a men’s collection, Scott Bros. by Kendra Scott, and a western-wear accessories brand, Yellow Rose by Kendra Scott. As the lifestyle brand continues to grow, Kendra and her namesake company remain true to its founding philosophy of “Family, Fashion, and Philanthropy” for both customers and employees. Since 2010, the company has given back $70 million to local, national, and international causes supporting organizations that serve women and youth in the areas of health and wellness, education and entrepreneurship, and empowerment. Today, her company continues to operate out of Austin, Texas, where she resides with her family. Visit kendrascott.com for more.
