Celebrating Community with Brooke Shepard, founder of Monogram Mary, based in Old Greenwich!
In this episode, we dive into the story of Monogram Mary, a brand launched in 2016 with a mission to bring personalization and custom gifts back into the marketplace. At Monogram Mary, the philosophy is simple: celebrate who you are, always.
Join us as we explore how founder Brooke was inspired by her grandmother's beautifully monogrammed linens, napkins, and tablecloths—heirloom pieces that seemed to vanish amidst the rise of retail giants. Determined to revive this lost art, Brooke set out to create perfect, cherished gifts and special touches that make every day feel like a celebration. From cozy, beautiful robes to children's bath towels and ready-to-go weekend bags, Monogram Mary offers pieces that bring joy and comfort.
Inspired by an extraordinary woman named Mary, Brooke's late mother-in-law, known for her impeccable taste and unwavering grace, Monogram Mary encourages everyone to leave their special mark on the world. Be fearless, be creative, be YOU, and just like Mary... LEAVE YOUR MARK.
