Kendra Scott

Kendra Scott launched Kendra Scott LLC in 2002, designing her first collection with $500 in the spare bedroom of her home. Walking store to store in her hometown of Austin to promote her handcrafted jewelry, Scott's business grew steadily by word of mouth. In 2005, Scott's designs were chosen to accessorize Oscar de la Renta's spring 2006 runway show. 

Scott's first retail store opened on Austin's South Congress Avenue in 2010 and in the same year, she began her e-commerce business and launched the brand's Color Bar experience. Currently valued at over $1 billion and with over 102 stores across the globe the Kendra Scott brand has grown to encompasses fashion jewelry, fine jewelry, home accessories, nail lacquer and beauty products.
