Meet Gretchen of The Chateau Collection
I am so happy to introduce you to Gretchen of the Chateau Collection. I purchased a rose sachet from her website and absolutely loved it, and she was so kind to let me sell it here at Autumn and June. Some words that come to mind when describing Gretchen are classy and kind. Give her a follow on Instagram and you'll see why, and keep reading here to learn more about her and her business.
What made you start your business?
As a former interior designer who is passionate about all things home, I believe it is essential to sustain traditions and create everlasting memories with family and friends.
I started The Chateau Collection because I wanted to share my passion for table linens and decor with others. My goal is to help you create a space that reflects who you are while creating lasting memories with your loved ones.
The Chateau Collection is a line of premium table linens and decor that I designed to reflect the beauty and elegance of your home. Each linen piece is carefully handcrafted by me using only the best materials available. The end result is an elegant table setting that will last for generations.
What is one of the biggest struggles in your business?
The biggest struggle for me currently is wearing all of the hats. I love the creative side of it, that’s my passion. But, I must also prioritize the “business” aspect of it and that’s not the fun part for me.
What has been your biggest business related accomplishment so far?
My biggest accomplishment so far is having a local retailer purchase my products for their shop!
What’s something you would like people to know about being a business owner?
I think it’s so critical to not rush it. Yes, when we start out we all want to make thousands of sales right away, but there is truly so much to learn and just go easy on yourself, and take it one day at a time. Success will come.
What is a favorite product of yours you make/sell?
My favorite product currently is the weighted lavender eye pillows. I just love how beautiful they are and how they truly bring peace and healing to so many people.
