Meet Kenya

Hi there, and welcome! I’m Kenya, the creator, designer, and maker behind The Mary Elizabeth Home Collection. Named after my maternal great-grandmother and grandmother, who were the original seamstresses in our family, the brand pays homage to their legacy. They passed down their sewing magic to my favorite aunt, who I had the privilege of watching create countless beautiful pieces while growing up (and I was lucky enough to receive many of those incredible outfits!). I felt it was only fitting to name my brand after the women who started it all.

I officially embarked on my entrepreneurial journey in 2017 with the launch of Mary Elizabeth Bags. But even before that, I knew a home collection was in my future. I’ve always had a passion for all things home—from crafting pillows and throws to building desks and storage benches (I’m also a big fan of woodworking!), to finding the perfect frames for all the memories.

When it comes to home décor, I would describe my style as modern with an eclectic twist. I like to fill our space with pieces that spark joy, so you’ll find everything from traditional to mid-century modern—and lots of plants! I love mixing and matching, because why limit yourself to just one style? Mix it up, make it yours, and let your space tell your story.

Thanks for dropping by my tiny corner of the internet! I hope you hang around and find something you love.
