Spartina 449 Believes in Giving Back
Written By: Jenny King | Issue: 2017/08 - August
Spartina 449 on Main Street Highlands brings a taste of the Lowcountry to the mountains.
Owners Kay Stanley and Curt Seymour opened their flagship store on Daufuskie Island in 2009 and took the name Spartina from the ubiquitous green cordgrass growing along South Carolina’s coast. The brand has since become recognized worldwide for upscale designer handbags and accessories and they’ve since opened 4 more stores.
Stanley and Seymour, like many others, have chosen to escape the heat and humidity of the Lowcountry and have a second home at Lake Keowee and own property in Highlands. Having watched the retail district of Highlands grow and change, they knew the sophisticated shoppers here would embrace the quality and history of their designs.
Every Spartina product comes with a story. When choosing names for each season’s collections, Spartina’s creative team draws from Daufuskie Island’s lush natural environment and rich cultural heritage. The spring-summer Kalypso Collection is a whimsical taste of beach life; the Salt Meadow pattern evokes the peaceful serenity of Georgia’s waterways; and the Seven Oaks pattern is taken from Bluffton, South Carolina’s stately manor of the same name.
Their totes, beach bags, and accessories evoke the colors, the charm, and the cheerful nature of life in the Lowcountry. Jewelry designs speak of coastal shades and patterns and coordinate beautifully with their scarves, cardigans, and wallets.
Spartina 449 believes in giving back. They support the Wounded Warrior Project and the Daufuskie Island Historical Foundation, so when you shop with them you are making a positive impact on the lives of others and the history of Daufuskie.
Stop by their store located at 394 Main Street and be transported to the coast.
