Susan Montfort Ripley
The "Ley" in "Ley Love", Susan is a New Orleans native who spent her college and early working years in the fashion and style-conscious urban South. Susan has designed jewelry since her
early teens, incorporating her eye for standout, forward-looking fashion and design into her work. The youngest of three sisters, Susan's quest for affordable high fashion was often
assisted by their advice, ideas and closets. She formalized her training as a fashion major at the University of Georgia, honed her business skills in Dallas, and now her vision, which
has been largely influenced by the melting pot culture of New Orleans, is turning into reality. Susan currently resides in New Orleans with her two poodles, Winston and Otter.
Camilla Love McGraw

Buying. In her role as a buyer for Ralph Lauren's Collection jewelry, Camilla learned the importance of quality and integrity of design while developing a healthy understanding for the business.
