“Our unscented body oil was born out of a desire to provide a pure, natural skincare solution for those with sensitive skin or fragrance sensitivities. Handcrafted with a blend of nourishing oils, it delivers deep hydration. This body oil is perfect for those who love traveling to warm climates or live in warm climates, as it keeps the skin moisturized and glowing in the heat. At Cee Cee's Closet NYC, we believe in celebrating the natural beauty of our customers. This product embodies that ethos perfectly.”



The Etho is an ethical home goods and clothing brand that focuses on financially empowering women around the world.

“Everything behind The Etho brand has meaning and a story. I have traveled to more than 40 countries, witnessing the beauty of handcrafted goods alongside heartbreaking poverty. I wanted to connect those talented artisans with people craving unique, meaningful pieces. The Etho fights the wasteful ‘wear and discard’ mentality of fast fashion by giving pre-loved denim a gorgeous new life through embroidery by artisans who are paid fairly for their artistry. It's a win-win—sustainable practices, supporting amazing artists, and a touch of individuality for your wardrobe!”


Tequila by Inspiro Tequila | Mara Smith


Inspiro Tequila is a clean, additive-free meticulously crafted tequila that is approachable and smooth enough to sip on its own.

“I started drinking tequila when I was looking for a gluten-free, low sugar, ‘better for you’ adult beverage. Upon discovering that all of the tequilas I was drinking contained undisclosed additives—like sweeteners, coloring, and glycerin—I searched for an additive-free brand that appealed to me and other thoughtful female consumers. The perfect tequila did not exist. So I set out to craft a clean, additive-free tequila with the sweeter tasting notes I liked but without the unwanted additives. The result is a silky, smooth, approachable tequila that will elevate any occasion.”



Erleia is an AAPI-woman founded natural skincare brand focused on sustainability and inclusivity.

“The Erleia Lotion Bar is a plastic-free solid hand and body moisturizer. I created it because I was tired of traveling to hotels and using low quality lotions in plastic packaging. All of the eco-friendly options I found required a separate traveling case or tin, making them messy and inconvenient to apply. By packaging our Lotion Bar in a push-up paper tube, we made it easy for anyone—from kids to adults—to apply lotion at home or on the go!”


Jewelry by Allusio Jewelry | Julie Culbertson


Allusio Jewelry is helping ambitious women focus on what matters most and improving health in underserved communities.

“I have long understood that what we wear impacts how we feel, think, and behave. And much of my career in health and wellness has revolved around problem solving. So when I couldn’t quite find the right attractive, durable, ethically made, customizable, and meaningful jewelry for myself, I decided to make it. Experiential fine jewelry from Allusio doesn’t just make you look polished—it's paired with a guide designed to help you feel better over time.”



RobeCurls is a heatless curling headband that offers effortless curls with a mission to inspire category-creating inventions that empower everyday routines.

“Back in 2020, there was a TikTok trend of women trying to curl their hair with a bathrobe belt. I knew we could do better. The last 100 years have focused on heat styling, but women are looking for products that protect long-term hair health and save time. It’s why I created RobeCurls, the first heatless curling headband. Women can curl their hair in a stylish and comfortable way—all without heat. I care about innovative design that empowers daily routines, and RobeCurls is now changing the future of heatless hairstyling for the better.”

Accents Inserts offers ultra-thin shoe inserts designed to absorb sweat and dirt to keep your feet fresh, dry, and clean.

“Accents Inserts were born from a personal struggle with sweaty feet making sandals slippery during a sunny Miami vacation. Frustrated by this problem, I envisioned a solution that would combine comfort, functionality, and practicality. Through meticulous research and development, Accents Inserts emerged. They keep feet dry, secure, and clean, offering confidence with every step.”


Wine by Vinat | Sarah Mack


Vinat is a female-founded wine brand selling thoughtfully-made and curated European wines topped with fabulously cheeky labels, easy pairings, and no unwanted additives.

“We created Vinat to make wine more approachable and fun for women. When we first started learning about the wine industry, we were shocked to discover that although 60% of the wine consumers are in the U.S., most of the wines are being picked by men. We're not trying to turn you into a sommelier. We're bringing you wines you'll love and new ways to enjoy them!”



SWAIR makes time-saving hair care for people who workout, formulated with clean ingredients.

“SWAIR Showerless Shampoo was created because my co-founder, Meredith, and I were tired of planning our workouts around our hair. We met training for the NYC Marathon and hated that we needed to wash our hair after every sweaty run. We couldn't use dry shampoo because it isn't effective on any real amount of sweat, so we started calling labs to bring our dream product to life. The result was Showerless Shampoo—a product that cleans very sweaty hair quickly!”


Zero- and Low-Caffeine Tea by Leaves of Leisure Tea | Allison Ullo


Leaves of Leisure Tea is a luxury tea company with a focus on herbal and low-caffeine teas to elevate daily routines, foster connections, and bring moments of calm.

“Leaves of Leisure was born from my personal journey of being addicted to caffeine. I realized it was actually the root cause of my depression, anxiety, and mood swings. When I quit, I missed the daily ritual of brewing and drinking coffee, so I started to drink herbal tea instead. But all the herbal teas available were geared toward sickness and ailments. I wanted inspiring teas for everyday routines. I set out to create teas that not only offered wellness benefits but also evoked feelings of nostalgia and relaxation. Our teas stand out with their unique flavor profiles, vibrant packaging meant to be proudly displayed, and a commitment to quality and authenticity. We're not just selling tea. We're offering an experience—a moment of respite and indulgence in an otherwise hectic world.”



Bliss'd Co creates easy-to-use journals and tools to help women gain clarity, feel more fulfilled, and create more magic in their lives.

“Time to Reflect: A 5-Minute Reflection Journal is a happy medium between a blank notebook and a guided journal. With more inspiration than a blank notebook provides, yet not as rigid as many of the guided journals on the market, it’s the perfect addition for women seeking a sustainable tool for self-care and self-discovery. I discovered my love of journaling during a challenging experience with postpartum depression. Medicine and therapy helped me find my feet again, and journaling helped me find myself again. Three years later, the medicine is no longer a part of my life, yet my journaling practice remains a foundation in my self-care routine. This journal is based on the exact format I've used for years to help me maintain an effective journaling practice to gain clarity, improve my mindset, and feel more grateful.”



EQUIPT fuses design with functionality to make fitness tools a part of everyday living.

“After having my daughter Lola, I knew I wanted to create pieces of equipment that made me feel good the moment I used them, as opposed to what traditional fitness said, which was end-result driven and intimidating. By adding design to weights, I found you could feel good the moment you touched something, even sensually, which would bring more movement into the day. Bonus? Weights that are pretty enough to be art.”


Zero-Waste Refills by The Refill Shoppe | Michelle Stevens


The Refill Shoppe is a leader in the bulk and zero-waste space that offers more than 80 custom-scented, closed-loop bath, body, home, and beauty refills.
