The Mallory

I met Mallory in early November 2023, when I was desperately seeking someone to help manage the whirlwind of tasks that come with the holiday season. We connected through a mutual friend, and the stars just seemed to align perfectly. Just as Mallory's career in the film industry was disrupted by the strike, she was introduced to CB Grey. Our first interview confirmed what I already felt—we were a perfect match. Her infectious smile and bubbly personality lit up the (Zoom) room, and I knew then and there we were destined to be partners in this crazy adventure.

Mallory is a rare gem. She's the kind of person who tackles every challenge with the enthusiasm of a kid on Christmas morning. From day one, her commitment to CB Grey was crystal clear. Sure, bringing her on full-time strained the budget, but how could I possibly let her go? Her presence is like a burst of sunshine on a dreary day—she’s joyful, passionate, and unafraid. She has this uncanny knack for bringing out the best in everyone she meets.

Pretty early on, it became apparent that The Mallory Collection was a no-brainer. I had to share a slice of Mallory with the world because, let's face it, everyone needs a little Mallory in their lives. She’s soulful, always in tune with her true self, a free spirit, and a hippie at heart. Just being around her is a lesson in living life to the fullest, and I am endlessly grateful to have her by my side.

The Mallory scarf design captures her essence perfectly. Geometric patterns and celestial elements reflect her free spirit and deep connection to the cosmos. The intricate designs mirror her complex, soulful nature, while bold, colorful accents symbolize her infectious energy and creativity. It's a testament to her vibrant personality. Hidden within the scarf’s design are the words "you are magic," a secret message from Mallory to remind everyone who wears it of their own extraordinary power.

Mallory's impact on CB Grey and on me as a person has been profound. Despite the challenges, she works tirelessly, always brimming with new ideas to grow the business and the brand. Mallory isn’t just a colleague; she’s a friend (well actually, more of a sister at this point #bluetooth ;), a confidante, and a source of endless inspiration. Fun fact: everywhere we go, people ask if we’re sisters because of our close bond and shared quirks. It’s like having a doppelgänger who understands and enhances every facet of life.

Mallory has become family and so has her sweet little furry baby, Jalapeno! My son, Grey, absolutely adores her. On days when she isn’t in the office, Grey is always asking, “Where’s Mallory?” aka MALLOWEE lol She’s like an aunt to him, and her presence brings so much joy and laughter into our home.

Today marks a special day as we launch The Mallory scarf, coinciding with the one-year anniversary of Mallory's transition from her decade-long career in film. Reflecting on this journey, Mallory shared, "After ten years of amazing and hard-working experiences, the film strikes last July prompted a significant shift, leading me to explore new avenues. While it doesn't mean I'll never return to film, I'm filled with never-ending gratitude for the path I'm on now. I've found new ways to channel my creativity and love of learning, making this journey both challenging and enriching."

As an artist, Mallory has always found inspiration in the various ways art can be expressed. She beautifully put it, "Whether through painting, drawing, film, design, or any authentic expression, art has an incredible ability to communicate and connect." The stars and celestial bodies in The Mallory remind her of our smallness in this vast universe and how deeply connected we are to everything around us. The pyramids represent the connection with her two siblings, who mean the world, moon, stars, and sun to her.

Being involved in the creation of this scarf has been a unique and joyful experience for Mallory. She described it as, "a true labor of love that Courtney executed beautifully. It's a reminder of the heart within art and the connections it fosters. Just as a meal cooked with love tastes more delicious, artwork created with such thoughtfulness and inspiration holds an indescribable beauty."

The Mallory scarf is a tribute to an extraordinary person who has become the soul of CB Grey. It embodies her spirit, her joy, and her unwavering dedication. When you wear The Mallory scarf, I hope you feel empowered and inspired, just as Mallory makes everyone around her feel. Let it be a reminder of your own magic, your boundless energy, and your unique place in the universe.
