Reinventing the silk scarf.

CB Grey is a line of luxury scarves and accessories that are truly one of a kind. Featuring designs that are hand-drawn by founder, Courtney Buchanan, each piece tells a story. Specific to their names, the designs tell the unique stories of everyday yet extraordinary women.

We believe fashion is more than just what you wear; it's a chance to show the world who you are. Our pieces are all uniquely different - just like the women who inspired them. So no matter your style, fierce or feminine, timeless or trendy, we've got you covered! We believe that our products can help you be your most confident self! So do you, stand out, celebrate your YOUness... and look good while doing it....

DESIGN

Each design has its own unique story -- inspired by everyday, yet extraordinary women, who embody characteristics that we value and admire. Characteristics that we want to inspire others to discover within themselves.

And these aren’t well-known or famous people -- they’re women just like you and me.

Our goal with each of our designs is to CELEBRATE who these women are and what they represent. To use the aesthetics of the artwork to honor their courage and authenticity -- and in turn -- share it with the world and motivate other women to find the strength they need to be their own, true, authentic self. 

QUALITY

After testing and sourcing numerous fabrics from a variety of manufacturers, we chose our fabrics simply because they are the best. We pay attention to every detail, because we believe that thoughtfully designed clothing should stand the test of time.

Courtney Buchanan | Owner & Designer

Courtney Buchanan is the founder and designer behind CB Grey, a luxury accessories brand inspired by real women and their stories. With a passion for empowerment and a mission to spread joy and inspiration, she creates beautiful accessories that blend fashion with meaningful narratives.

Launching CB Grey in 2020 with no prior experience in fashion, Courtney's dedication and vision have quickly established her brand as a symbol of elegance and empowerment. Based in Atlanta, she continues to support and uplift her community through various initiatives and collaborations.

Behind each CB Grey design lies a story—a tribute to a woman. Through the colors and motifs of the design, she seeks to amplify their voices and celebrate their strength. However, her mission extends beyond aesthetics. She strives to make a tangible difference in people's lives, whether through hiring locally, championing sustainability through reusable packaging, or through various charitable initiatives, like when she donated hundreds of scarves to patients in the pediatric cancer unit at CHOA (read more here).

"To me, fashion is more than just what you wear, it’s a chance to show the world who you are. Each CB Grey piece is intentionally designed to inspire you to feel beautiful, bold, confident and fearless -- because spoiler alert… YOU ARE! Now dance your way over to the shop and jump on this silky bandwagon with me!"

Mallory's career evolved through a decade long journey in Atlanta's film world, culminating in leadership positions overseeing the artwork and the scenery creation on multiple sets and as a scenic foreman worked with a multitude of different artists.  Outside of the film world she has always been involved with many artistic endeavors, projects, and collaborations.  She received her degree in Psychology with a focus on Art from Georgia State University, enriching her approach to art and creativity.

After learning that she and Courtney had similar collegiate paths and interests, Mallory's collaboration with Courtney feels serendipitous. "We were meant to meet each other," Mallory reflects, highlighting the perfect timing of their meeting and eventual partnership.

Excited to have joined Courtney and CB Grey, Mallory sees this as the beginning of a wonderful partnership, friendship, and creative, inspiring journey, dedicated to using art to empower women and share their stories through CB Grey's designs.

Mallory believes in the healing power of art and its ability to tell stories, a philosophy that resonates deeply with the ethos of CB Grey which is dedicated to using Courtney's artistry to empower women and share their stories through CB Grey's designs.

Wanna see behind the scenes?

Here is a quick snippet of how a design begins.  I go back and forth constantly between my iPad and illustrator.  All the elements are hand drawn with an apple pencil and then I arrange and manipulate them in illustrator.  I started this drawing with one theme in mind, but once I started playing with it in illustrator it took on an entirely different feel.  It always amazes me how many times a design will change before it is finished! 

Learn about our fabrics.

Silk

Silk is a natural fiber produced by the silk worm, an insect, as a material for their nests and cocoons. Silk is known for its shine and softness as a material. It is an incredibly durable and strong material with a beautiful drape and sheen.

All of our scarves and minis are 100% silk twill.

Silk/Modal Blend

Modal fabric is a semi-synthetic fabric made from sustainably harvested beech tree pulp. Modal is often blended with other fibers like silk for strength and feel. Modal is considered a luxurious textile thanks to both its soft feel and high cost.

All of our shawls are a silk/modal blend.
