Local by design 

Posted by Jenny on Tuesday, February 10, 2009 to News

“Beehive Co-op” boutique is a place that nurtures local designers, promoting creativeness, while invigorating local communities with lovingly crafted, locally made designs.

With locations in Atlanta and New York,Beehive is a co-operative retail concept that is "local by design." Beehive offers its communities unique, modern, handmade items by emerging local and regional designers.

Most of us are familiar with the "food miles" term, as the number of miles our food travels to reach supermarket shelves. Do we ever wonder about "fashion miles"? “As consumers continue to embrace the notion of buying locally, Beehive represents a progressive model for how to shop that is also socially conscious. When you buy a handmade pendant or ceramic piece at Beehive, you learn about the artist and form a meaningful connection. You know that your dollars are supporting independent artists and watering the local economy's roots”.

Zoica Matei line is currently showcased at Beehive, where you can view the collection, and meet the designer. Check them out at: 1831A Peachtree Rd, Atlanta, GA 30309, call them at 404.351.1166 and visit the website:www.beehiveco-op.com
