Rae of Light was born when founder Teddi Lightman set out to create a personalized, one-of-a-kind gift for her bridesmaids—but couldn’t find any stylish, budget-friendly options that felt truly special. What started as a creative solution quickly evolved into a brand known for handcrafted, customizable handbags designed to celebrate every moment. Today, Rae of Light designs exclusive collections for national retailers like Anthropologie and Tuckernuck, as well as high-end boutiques across the country. From bridal clutches to statement pieces for everyday wear, each bag is thoughtfully crafted to make women feel unique, confident, and effortlessly chic. Shop at https://raeoflightcustom.com/

Interior Designer and author of Southern Sensibility. There is a unique way of living in the South, a more gracious style with a modern twist. Sophisticated casual interiors with pops of color have always been Edith-Anne’s design aesthetic, as well as a respect for heritage and history. Growing up as a child in the South, Edith-Anne’s family home was filled with inherited furnishings mixed with modern touches of chinoiserie and unexpected moments, like a white leather bench with emerald-green piping. Those surroundings sparked her love of home and decor.
