Designer Bio
Meredith Wendell is a New York based accessories collection of bags, jewelry and belts. Founded in 2008 by designers Meredith and Wendell German, the company's designs are handcrafted in Florence, Italy, using Italian leathers and hardware. The creative influence of Meredith Wendell stems from Meredith’s childhood. Raised by her father and grandparents in and around the vibrant Dorothy Draper-designed interiors of West Virginia's Greenbrier Hotel, Meredith was exposed to a variety of design aesthetics, personalities and generations. This aesthetic has been captured during her collaborations with photographer Frederike Helwig and stylist Beth Fenton shooting seasonal look-books at Greenbrier. With the inception of her own company, Meredith has drawn on her colorful background, always keeping in mind the value of her family heritage. Meredith Wendell is featured regularly in domestic and international publications ranging from Vogue to the Wall Street Journal Magazine. They were selected the past two seasons to participate in The Harper’s Bazaar Accessories Bazaar as well in Henri Bendel’s “The New & The Next Hot Accessory Annex” featuring emerging designers selected by Vogue for Fashion’s Night Out in 2010.
