199. Claudia Garrard, Designer and Founder of Lenora, on How She is Currently Building Her Lifestyle Brand, The Lessons She is Learning Along The Way, and What's Next For Her
Designed by Claudia Garrard and handmade by the 38 trusted seamstresses who comprise our sewing room, Lenora's offerings bear an unmistakable, unparalleled mark of quality. The story of Lenora is a special one. It all started with Dina Yang, a pioneering Vietnamese designer whose expertise and superior craftsmanship set the industry standard. Eventually, Claudia took the reins, excited to build and grow the brand to reach an even wider swath of women. Today, she continues to elevate Lenora through new offerings, expanded collections, and ever-strengthening relationships with the legions of women searching for a certain level of care and attention to detail that has become increasingly rare in the nightwear market. For first-time and longtime clients alike, the spark of recognition when they find what they’ve been longing for in Lenora is instant, and an enduring connection is born.After all, we outfit the moments when women are most essentially themselves—the times when they unwind, recharge, sleep, become mothers, nurture family, find refuge, cultivate calm, seek solace, dream dreams… Lenora is a tribute to personal well-being through quality, comfort, and a bit of permissive indulgence. Stitch by stitch, yard by precious yard, Lenora shapes the wardrobe for life’s most unguarded and intimate moments. That requires trust. And care. And a commitment to service and excellence in an industry that often prizes profit above people. We never confuse the two. From Lenora’s sewing room to our clients’ closets, our mission is to lift up and support all of the women in our orbit.

198. Monica Rich Kosann on How She Went From Successful Photographer to Creating Her Well-Known Luxury Label and Eponymous Jewlery Line
Today’s guest is fine jeweler, Monica Rich Kosann. Monica started out as a photographer many years ago capturing her client's stories through film (she was the primary family photographer for multiple celebrities). She then started gifting her clients vintage card cases with their photos as a thank you and from there began designing lockets. This spawned her eponymous jewelry line that has been around for nearly 20 years with the locket as the cornerstone of the brand. Sold in Bergdorf Goodman, Neiman Marcus and countless fine jewelry boutiques around the country, Monica Rich Kosann is a well-known luxury label that Monica started completely on her own. It's B-Certified (the first in the luxury industry to achieve that status), is run by a team of women and has become an incredibly successful business with collaborations with 18-time Grand Slam Tennis Champion, Chris Evert, on a line of tennis bracelets, Netflix on a partnership around Bridgerton and more.

197. Lila Limon, Founder & Creative Director of Squeeze De Citron, on Scaling Her Business, and Representing the Work of Talented Artisans From Around The World
Lila Limon, the visionary behind Squeeze De Citron®, serves as both the founder and creative director of this vibrant line of handcrafted bags and totes, skillfully brought to life by Mexican artisans.
Nestled in the picturesque Old Greenwich, CT, she passionately curates all in-house designs, infusing each creation with her unique touch and creative flair. Her journey began in Mexico City where she was born and raised. Lila has always had a vast fascination with the world of color since she was little. As a teen, she had a wide range collection of Care Bears and Lip Smackers. Who would have thought that one day it would translate to Squeeze De Citron®?
Following her graduation with a Bachelor of Business in Mexico City, Lila's educational journey took an exciting turn as she pursued further studies at The Fashion Institute of Technology in New York.
Lila realized there was a niche in the market for accessories that bring joy and happiness through intense colors, and interesting patterns! Handmade, by Mexican and Guatemalan artisans, much of the Core, the Capsule, and the Lemon Drop Collections are made of 100% recycled plastic. Not only is the company supporting artisan communities, but it is actively supporting the health of our planet too.
Squeeze De Citron® bags represent the work of talented Mexican and Guatemalan artisans. It takes full dedication and cultural talent to create these lifestyle bags. Each core bag takes an entire week to create, with an additional 3 days dedicated to creating the handles.
