Our Story

Welcome to Belle & Southern!

Call me a small-town girl as there are few times in my life when I am happier than when I visit a small town. These are the places where time often seems to stand still, where the local diner is the hub of the day’s activity and the source of the town’s gossip. 

Many of these small towns have changed through the years, but my favorite part of visiting has always been exploring the quaint little family-owned shops and boutiques lining their streets.  Every store carries its own unique array of treasures, many handmade or crafted by local artists. 

Living in North Georgia, I am blessed to be close to several of these towns and to have been able to shop at so many of these incredible stores thru the years.  I created Belle & Southern to share the experience of visiting these places with you. 

Belle & Southern is a small, independent, woman-owned business specializing in artisan-made goods.

Our collections feature a mix of in-house designs and carefully curated pieces from skilled makers and small studios in the U.S. and around the world. We focus on quality craftsmanship, small-batch production, and pieces that are never mass-produced. Check out our philosophy on Giving Back here. 

When you shop with Belle & Southern, you are:

  • Supporting a small, woman-owned business
  • Supporting independent makers and small studios
  • Choosing handcrafted, artisan-made products
  • Helping us give back through our community initiatives

Thank you for stopping by Belle & Southern. Please stay awhile, explore something special, and come back again.
