A few months ago, I was introduced to global fashion talent Esther Feder by my friend and power woman Shelley Zalis. Esther is an elegant and engaging lady with an impressive fashion background and was born and raised in South Africa. She moved to Los Angeles to attend FIDM and currently runs a highly curated clothing and accessories business. I was invited to view the collection and as soon as I stepped into her showroom, I knew that it was something special. Inside the beautifully laid out space was the most amazing selection of accessories including clothing, jewelry, scarves, home accents and more. Esther's love of sharing her European discoveries and fashion aesthetic with women everywhere inspired her to create a website. Welcome Essie Collection!
"For the past few years, I have been traveling regularly to Paris, Italy and South Africa to bring back some of my favorite finds to sell in Los Angeles. My business spread via word of mouth and quickly became a hit. I travel around the globe many times a year seeking the most fantastic and unusual pieces out there; whether it’s a scarf, necklace, bag, sweater, or a gorgeous home accessory. My passion is to help women create their own unique, personal style while feeling confident and feminine."
