In 2014, Hamilton Perkins founded Hamilton Perkins Collection, an independent brand, designing and producing unique and award winning bags and accessories from recycled materials.
Hamilton Perkins Collection exists to create timeless limited edition bags made from recycled plastic water bottles, pineapple leaf fiber, and billboard vinyl. The result is that no two bags are ever the same.
Our first design, the Earth Bag Premium, was created so that our customers would not only carry a bag that was stylish but carry a bag they could be proud of. We surveyed more than 1,000 consumers to obtain their thoughts and feedback for each component of the Earth Bag Premium, which soon became one of our most popular designs.
Perkins was the winner of the Virginia Velocity Tour hosted by the Governor of Virginia, and the recipient of a HUD Community Development Block Grant. The non-profit B Lab honored Hamilton Perkins Collection as a "Best for the World Overall" B Corporation in 2017.
Hamilton Perkins Collection has been featured in Forbes, Fast Company, Money Magazine, and The Washington Post.
The brand is currently offered in nearly 100 leading department stores and specialty stores in the United States, Canada, and Europe.

Hi, I’m Kaycee McCoy, a digital marketing & branding expert based in Norfolk, Virginia.
The entrepreneurial spirit runs through my veins. My parents were successful small business owners, but they ran blue collar companies like crude oil drilling and rock hauling. Growing up in that environment gave me a unique perspective on life; the moral of the story is that entrepreneurship was the norm and I’ve had a penchant for small business my entire life. At the ripe age of 5 years old I was happily answering the business phone and talking on the CB Radio to our truck drivers. And while most kids were babysitting or running lemonade stands in middle school, I was carefully crafting greeting cards and creating bracelet companies. Small business life is a part of my DNA: it’s who I am.
There is no greater privilege in my professional life than to team up with aspiring entrepreneurs, solopreneurs and small business owners of all kinds to make their business ventures come to life through captivating marketing services and campaigns.
Hi, I’m Cara, the Marketing Assistant at Create/Captivate Digital Marketing.
I am a recent graduate from Georgia Southern University with a Bachelor’s degree in Fine Arts for Graphic Design. I received the HOPE Scholarship all four years and won the Student Silver ADDY Award in February of 2018 for my senior group project: Georgia’s History in 50 Objects, Georgia Southern University Museum Exhibition.
Transplanted to the Norfolk area in the summer of 2018, my husband and I are loving exploring the area and all it has to offer. When I’m not helping Create/Captivate clients with their creative and marketing needs you can find me at the gym, walking our dog or volunteering in the community.
