The roots of OOBE BRAND 161 King. St reach well beyond 1994 and Easley, South Carolina, where Tom Merritt and Mike Pereyo decided to build upon their friendship born at Clemson University…that year just happens to be when they cemented the idea of creating an outdoor lifestyle apparel company. As with other values-based heritage brands and outfitters that came of age during that era, OOBE sought to regard people over profits while developing a company culture and manufacturing network to mirror their convictions. Fortunately, doing good in business turned out to be good for business, as well. Circa 2000, OOBE bolstered through strategic partnerships where they offered their design expertise to other quality conscious and brand-centric companies. These enduring relationships are the foundation of their business today, a day in which they proudly present OOBE BRAND 161 King. St to you. See OOBE face to face at the Charleston flagship or select Bloomingdale's locations. 

Every closet has its favorites…proven essentials that emerge from a mixture of necessity and opportunity. We should know. For 23 years, OOBE has been designing and delivering foundational clothing to outfit people for work and adventure. Our new label OOBE BRAND 161 King. St, draws on our deep South Carolina heritage and crown seaport’s inimitable style to reinterpret traditional menswear. We approach classics with thoughtful simplicity to deliver dress shirts, sport shirts, polos and tees, pants, shorts, blazers, and other American touchstones that combine precise craftsmanship with effortless elegance and wearability. Ours is a timeless aesthetic that is at once well-formed and constantly evolving—the ultimate reflection of a life fully lived.

Catch Artist Mary Hoffman Live Painting Outside of The Real Estate Studio

 Hagan Fine Art Gallery's Artist Mary Hoffman will be painting outside of Real Estate Studio during September's 2nd Sunday from 12-5pm.

Since the age of three, Mary L. Hoffman has been drawing and painting and knew without a doubt that when she grew up she’d be a professional artist. As her artistic skills developed over the years, Mary became best known for her portraiture art.  For the past 20 years, CEO’s, universities, and collectors from all over the world have commissioned Mary for her elegant oil paintings and charcoal portraiture. Some of her well-known portrait clients include the University of Dayton, actress and model Andie MacDowell, and NHL hockey legend Mark Messier.

In 2005, new life breathed into her artistic abilities after she attended her first ‘Plein Air’ landscape painting workshop. Soon, her ‘Plein Air’ addiction began, and she quickly became a part of a small painting group known as “The Sullivan’s Island Plein Air Painters.” Today, Mary enjoys combining her love of the portrait and figure with painting Plein Air landscapes. She travels to paint and attend workshops and ‘Plein Air’ paint-outs all over the Eastern United States.

 Pictured here is Mary Hoffman's 30 x 24 inch original oil on canvas, "Crossing Broad".

CHARLESTON SHOE COMPANY

CHARLESTON SHOE CO. offers an affordable, comfortable and versatile shoe for the everyday woman. Their many cobblestones-to-cocktails shoe styles are geared toward the modern woman who needs to be on her feet and stay fashionable all day long! Walk through the cobblestone streets of Charleston, then dance into evening cocktail parties in a pair of shoes that won’t let you down. All of their styles are custom designed to be both comfortable and stylish and the sturdy construction will last for many years. Don’t hesitate to pick up a pair today…. you’ll want one in every style!

Charleston Shoe Company founder Neely Powell spent her childhood summers in a colonial town in central Mexico. In the summer of 1996, while at the College of Charleston, she met a cobbler whose simple sandals were a wardrobe staple among the villagers and visitors alike. It was Kismet.

With suitcases stuffed with the made-by-hand shoes, Neely and her mother boarded a plane home, plotting to sell sandals alongside her mother’s own burgeoning import business at furniture markets. The shoes were embraced by young and old, and before they knew it a wholesale business was created.

In 2010, Neely opened Savannah Shoe Co in Savannah and then a small storefront called Charleston Shoe Co. on a quiet and historic section of King Street in downtown Charleston, South Carolina. This proved a pivotal moment for the brand as the community and tourists alike embraced the collection and the charismatic proprietor. With locations in Charleston, Savannah, & Del Mar, they still could not meet the demand for the “cobblestones to cocktails” shoe and the wholesale line launched in January 2011. The Charleston Shoe Co. line is now currently sold in over 150 boutiques nationally.

Mother's Day Flowers That Will Last For Generations

Stop by Reinert Fine Art for Mother's Day flowers that will last for generations! Pictured here is Nancy Franke's painting "Remember Me!" oil 14 x 11.

Nancy is one of gallery's fastest selling artists. A longtime Atlanta resident, Nancy began painting as a child in Pennsylvania, studying with Glenn Brougher, a noted watercolorist. She went on to major in Fine Arts at Wilson College, and received her Masters Degree in Art History at UNC Chapel Hill. Primarily self-taught as an adult, she has also benefited from workshop study with some of the finest painters today. She works mainly in oils and prefers to paint "alla prima," or in one session if possible. Spontaneous brushwork and lively color are goals: she admires past masters such as Sargent, Sorolla, Potthast, and Bongart for their painterly and bravura styles.

Visit Reinert Fine Art at 179 King Street in the King Street Antique District to see more.
