Meet our Entrepreneurs.

Lillian Elenwoke, Gift Advisory

Timeless gift-giving experiences; That was what inspired me to start my business. Curating “Intellectual Hampers “ and Gift boxes that appealed to the 5 senses and made a lasting impression. I love helping customers create a memorable experience; from helping emerging brands with sustainable packaging for their products to helping customers put together gifts that are timeless and make a lasting impression.

Abby Wallach and Caroline Fabrigas, Sparti Scents

We love getting to know our customers and hearing how they are using, loving, and living in their new Sparti Scents. It’s thrilling to see how engaged and committed they are to our brand and new forms of fragrance. We also love it when they share photos and videos of themselves using Sparti. It really captures their excitement in a whole new way.

Yina Bae, Yina Yina NYC

I taught myself how to sketch and sew at an early age because I really loved designing and creating something new. So, it naturally led me to dream to have my own brand someday. As working in both the garment and handbag design industry for years, I understood what it means to have a good handbag for women. I wanted to design bags that is easy to wear for any occasion and feel naturally confident and beautiful.

Tulin Sallabank, OOObaby

As a busy mom and hard-working businesswoman, I needed a multipurpose bag that could go from the office to the playground. No other bag lives up to the challenge. I designed a multi-purpose bag based on functionality, organization, and affordable luxury. I carry this timeless bag because it covers everything from great mom to corporate chic. The Urban Bag is stylish, great quality, functional, and fulfills every modern woman’s needs. I was unable to find the perfect back to fulfill the invariably changing role of a woman

Nicole Amato, Amatostyle

My strong belief in the power of one’s inner sense of confidence and individualism consistently inspires all that I do. Prior to forming Amatostyle, I started my career for many years as a practicing attorney. I have always been a very creative and “out of the box” type of person but found that, as my life had progressed, I was not able to engage this part of myself much anymore. At some point, I determined that I no longer wished to “hush” the creativity which was obviously there. That desire and ability, coupled with my background and training, provided the perfect foundation to shift my goals and attention to the world of fashion, business, and entrepreneurship.
