A VISION & A DREAM

"the beehive" is a unique retail concept originally called "Beehive Co-op" in that started in Atlanta, Georgia, in 2004.

In early 2010, the store was acquired by an existing Atlanta designer who sought to take the collective designers and its image to greater heights.

Having successfully tackled her own entrepreneurial endeavor in jewelry design from the ground up, owner Malene Davis, forged her vision together with other local designers to keep top quality handmade culture alive and well in her city.

With a 2600 square foot store located in the bustling Edgewood Retail District, the beehive is a place where customers can come, relax, and learn about the people and processes that went into making the beautiful items in the store.

WHO IS THE BEEHIVE DESIGNER?

the beehive is a community; it is more than just four walls that house products for sale. It is truly a place where entrepreneurs - of every level - can get support they need to make their businesses better.

the beehive designer creates a product line that is innovative, stylish, modern, and often sustainable. Their line is most likely targeted toward a niche market or specific demographic, which allows us to have the greatest variety of independently designed products, all under one roof.

the beehive designer does not mind being challenged, and consistently seeks to grow the visibility and innovativeness of their brand, as
well as that of the store. Finally, the beehive designers - collectively - are as diverse as the product selection in the store: We are all ages, colors and cultures, synergistically combined to provide the best example of all that a designer community can be.
