Today we’d like to introduce you to The Heist Sisters – Alexia, Andrea, & Alyssa Heist
Hi The Heist Sisters – Alexia, Andrea, & Alyssa, we’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
As three sisters, coming from a family of entrepreneurs, we always knew we wanted to start something together.
In the summer of 2023, we took a sister trip to Italy where our eyes were opened and our love and appreciation for scarves began.
We spent time in Como, Italy’s silk capital, where we were able to visit some of the best scarf shops in the world. The amount of time, work, pride, and thought that is put into every single scarf, words can not express. We fell in love!
We came back home inspired knowing that we wanted to create something special. Something that would live with you forever.
In April of 2024, the vision and dream of beautiful and unique framed luxury scarves came into our minds and never left. We sat around our dinner table and started to source and purchase our first collection, not knowing where it would go, but knowing that we loved what we were doing and the happiness it brought us, and would bring to others. That was the birth of Stately Atelier.
In November of 2024, we launched Collection 1 at a private event at Art Space 111 in Fort Worth, TX, and are currently working on Collection 2.
Our hope is that Stately leads you to special pieces that speak to your soul and that you will treasure for generations to come!
Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
Starting a business is never smooth, but it sure has been rewarding. Getting to watch a vision and concept come to life with your sisters is something that you can’t put a price tag on!
Some of the struggles we have faced along the way are defining roles and responsibilities for the three of us, work life balance, and being able to trust the process and be patient.
Appreciate you sharing that. What else should we know about what you do?
At Stately Atelier, we specialize in sourcing and framing luxury scarves.
The three of us love art and creativity and we are grateful to have Stately as our outlet.
The sourcing of our scarves has been so fun. We have dove deep into all the brands that create silk scarves and are constantly looking to add to our collection. There is such a deep history behind many of the designs, especially the Hermès silk scarves, and it has been special to highlight the beautiful pieces of art that these fashion houses have created.
We pride ourselves in the custom framing that all of our art has. The artistry and vision that framing entails is so detail oriented and a true journey! The three of us all have different styles, but that is the best part. We love going back and forth on matte colors and frame options until we find the perfect combination.
While we are launching Collections that are our own sourced scarves and custom framing, we also do commissions where we work with customers who bring us their personal scarves and trust in us to frame them!
Is there a quality that you most attribute to your success?
Quality, originality, and passion.
Quality – The quality of our art is second to none. We have all custom matting and framing, and use museum grade acrylic on our art to ensure protection and to eliminate glare off the scarves. We will always do things the right way and we will never cut corners.
Originality – We believe that it’s important to stay true to ourselves throughout the process. There is a lot of noise out there and pressure to conform, but we trust our vision and know that there are others who do as well.
Passion – We love what we are doing and are passionate about preserving fashion and elevating art in a way that highlights the beauty of silk scarves. The three of us live life to the fullest, and we are grateful to have Stately, an avenue that allows us to spread our light with others.
