About Cornelia Lively

Cornelia Lively is a slow fashion, artisan-focused, independent brand, founded by Emily Greer Henderson. What began as a small jewelry line in Dallas, TX, in 1988 has been reimagined with a broader mission in which our commitment to sustainability informs every decision and design. Whether it is using recycled brass in our accessories or naturally dying our wraps and scarves with cochineal or mahogany, we strive to be a part of a broader community of emerging brands dedicated to ethical practices and the slow fashion movement. The beauty we wear expresses who we are, but it is our responsibility to ensure that damage is not caused for the sake of beauty. At Cornelia Lively, we strive to connect our clients with the stories behind our capsule pieces; to ask yourself, “Who, where, and how were my pieces made?” So join us! Join us on the path as we continually introduce an ever-evolving line of artisan jewelry, handmade pedal loom textiles from Oaxaca, Mexico, and slow-fashion dresses from NYC and Denver, CO.Read their story
