You are an integral part of our journey and our success, and we are so grateful for the expertise, calm leadership, and kindness you bring every single day.

Pictured here in 2016 at lan Stuart’s flagship store — a beautiful moment in a decade full of them. Here’s to you, Angie, and to many more milestones ahead 🤍🤍🤍
