A great coat isn’t just practical - it’s the thing that makes getting dressed in January feel like a creative act instead of a survival tactic.

For me, dining chairs have always been the quiet heroes of a room.  A dining chair can signal a design era, and can be a small to medium sized investment that packs a lovely punch in a well-designed room.

As a young man, JP spent his summers working at a fruit & flower stand and his winters working at a Christmas tree lot. Every year when we choose our tree, he knows exactly what he's looking for, and he's always right.  Each year we say "this is the best tree yet."   

What makes Elsie Green special is our people.  We've got a few former corporate executives, a floral designer, an event producer, a former accountant, and a vintage collector.  But we're all shopkeepers at heart, manning the packing table, giving our signature brand of extraordinarily personal service in the shop, traveling the French countryside looking for pretty things, and playing with the merchandise all day.  

Meet Kelsey, our Director of Marketing and Partnerships.
