Behind the Brand
meant to celebrate
Welcome to our little world of believing in dreams and celebrating the magic around us. We are so happy to have you here.
Ivy City Co. was founded in 2015 by best friends Tash and Whitney. After years of offering wholesale products, they decided to take a risk and start designing their own original, high quality silhouettes that couldn't be found anywhere else. The stars aligned and the girls met Madeline, a marketing guru who felt a pull to go all-in on her own business. Tash and Whit had the vision and Madeline, a fellow dress lover seeking to empower women, knew how to tell the world about it. She joined the team in 2018 and Ivy City Co. 2.0 was officially born.
