Buffalo Jackson Trading Co.
Buffalo Jackson is a leather goods and apparel lifestyle brand with a love for adventure and a dedication to choosing a simpler way of living. They aim to provide men and women a brand that adds quality to their everyday experiences while inspiring them to “Honor Your Wild”. While Buffalo Jackson found its identity in the towering Rocky Mountains of Colorado ten years ago, the brand found its home in the Carolinas, specifically in historic downtown Matthews. This flagship store was built to provide the Buffalo Jackson family the same experiences that molded the brand out west.
Team Smarty was invited to a sip ‘n see at the Matthews store this spring and we were 100% crushing on the “Dry Goods” in the store, specifically the Madison Collection! I’m pretty sure we picked up every piece of leather and inhaled the intoxicating scent! So, we picked out our favorite bag wrapped up in a pink & green bow just for you this Mother’s Day!
Our lucky winner will have this fabulous Madison Leather Tote in her life, valued at $239.95!

Jules & Vetiver
Jules & Vetiver was founded in 2018 by local Charlotte self-professed perfume nerd, Katrina Sellers, a girl who loved perfume but hated the perfume experience. So, she decided to start making the kinds of fragrances she wished existed: high quality and made by hand, without the pretentiousness and secrecy that dominates mass market perfumes. Her mission is simple: shake up the traditional perfume world by revealing the art and science behind scent, making fragrance approachable, interesting, and personal.
Smarties, you’re going to want to follow Katrina’s journey here. She’s all about quality, luxury without waste, transparency and education. Her batches are small and based entirely on customer feedback to bring you the most customized, hands-on perfume experience you’ll ever have.
Our lucky Smarty gets a limited edition release in honor of the Queen City. With notes of peach and cherry blossom, violet, lush greenery, and earthy cedar, you will immediately fall in love with QC Spring! (Valued at $89)
Where to Buy Jules & Vetiver fragrances:
Online at www.julesandvetiver.com (free shipping)

Dove Pottery
Team CSP loves, loves, loves Carolina pottery. We always have our eyes open for beautiful pieces. Our favorite is hand thrown pottery that has an aesthetic appeal but can also be used everyday. Dove Pottery is exactly that – beautiful, functional pieces that you can use everyday.
The mastermind behind Dove Pottery is Jordan Campbell, a self-taught, family- inspired potter that works out of his home studio in Waxhaw. I spoke with Jordan at length about his journey as a potter. My favorite takeaway was the quote, “I wouldn’t be the person I am today without my Mother and Grandmother…. and my Grandfather, too.” It is in his blood and it clearly shows. Each individual piece is created with love and purpose. His creations are stunning.
The lucky winner wins a $75 gift card toward a piece of their choice.
