Who We Are
Hey y'all!
.
We are so glad you're here! Dixie Grace was born on a dining room table from a candle hobby in 2016. Local stores began requesting to carry our products in their stores shortly after a few local craft fairs and we have been growing ever since. In November 2019, I decided my "hobby business" had grown too big and I left corporate America. We expanded into a complete retail offering along with our hand-crafted products and through covid and a broken supply chain, by the grace of God, we are still here and growing every day. That's our story in a nutshell. It's a crazy one, but it's ours, and now hopefully yours too!
.
Rather than bore you with a long history, we would rather tell you who we are, because that's what matters at the end of the day, at least to us, and hopefully to you also. My father and grandfathers left me three important lessons and we honor those in everything we do. I, and the entire Dixie Grace Team, stand on the shoulders of the giants that they are, even after their deaths.
- We get better every day, in every way. We are human. We will mess up. We will make the wrong call. We will make the wrong choice. We commit to learning from every single decision we make to do it better the next time in everything we do.
- Accept the Challenge. No matter how big or how small. We believe this is a decision we make every minute of every hour of every day. We are here to do the work. We enjoy the work. It's what we value. No matter how long the hours, how hard the work, through the blood, sweat, tears, laughter, and joy. We accept what life throws at us and we meet it head on.
- All we have to take with us when we die is our name. Our name holds our integrity, our character, our kindness, our fairness - it's the essence of who each one of us is. Like the old saying goes, you can't take your toys with you when you die but who we are and how we live, it's eternal. We strive for that every day and we have fun doing it. It's what matters.
We are proud to carry products from over 100 American Small Business Brands at Dixie Grace and that number grows the longer we are in business. Our Hand-Crafted products are made in house using materials from over 45 American Small Business Distributors. There is nothing within our walls that doesn't involve the American Small Business Supply Chain and your purchases don't just help Dixie Grace, they help support the entire network of local mom and pop shops, family owned companies, and the very backbone of America.
.
We carry sizes S-3X and 0-24W in our Apparel. Size doesn't matter here and we do our best to source the widest size runs available to us. We don't feel size should be a conversation topic when there are so many other important things in our lives and in the world that matter much more than the 10 lbs you (or we) gained or lost over the last few months. We have you covered. Let's get on to bigger and better things, eh?
.
We are proud to say that over 2% of our revenue (not profit but total revenue) goes directly to charities that we believe in like Songs4Soldiers, Moms On A Mission, National Alliance on Mental Ilness (NAMI), and several local foundations, sponsorships, and donations.
.
At the end of the day, you have choices where your hard earned dollars are spent. Not a second goes by that we are not grateful that you choose to spend it with us. My commitment when I left corporate America was that business would ALWAYS be personal at Dixie Grace. We will honor that as long as we are in business. Welcome to our community!
.
We hope you have a good damn time here.
