As we've discovered in this business, many of our favorite vendors have owned gift boutiques of their own and Amy and Brent Bernard, of Beehive Wholesale, are no different. After having the odd jobs of swimming instructor and watermelon "salesman" and college students, the Bernards found themselves in Nashville, Tennessee and far a way from family in Louisiana.
So they packed up and moved home near Louisiana Tech and opened a gift boutique. Their customers could rely on this young couple to "provide them with quality products at a low cost along with the friendliest service around". They learned what worked in the gift business and what didn't. The Bernards knew first hand what customers wanted when selecting a special gift, a unique item, or the perfect accessory!
As they grew to be fantastic business people, they knew that they wanted to take the retail gift business to another level and sold the boutique. In 2000, they started Beehive Wholesale and are providing retailers like us with the best products on the market and from around the world. They know what
we want because they've been there and done that!
That gives us at Haj-Paj Boutique the opportunity to allow you to
benefit from the expertise that the Bernards have cultivated. One of their
fabulous accessories for this fall is their
Rain Bops rain boots. Not only are they cute and funky, but they are a must-have for those wet fall and winter days! There's nothing worse that stepping in a cold rain puddle and wishing you had the right boot.
We are currently stocking 5 styles of the Beehive
Rain Bops. We have these wildly colored ones to the upper left and these super sweet cowgirl rain boots in this awesome pattern. The other three styles are three colors in an embossed croc pattern; black, red, and brown. These are in addition to the 2 styles of wedge boots we already are stocking.
Brown Embossed Croc with a teal and brown hounds-tooth patterned lining with the treaded bottoms.
Red Embossed Croc with black and white polka dot lining. Nice treaded bottoms to keep you safe on slippery surfaces!
Black Embossed Croc with turquoise patterned lining and those perfect treaded bottoms!
We have two styles of the wedge rain boots; the plain, matte black and the faux Coach pattern. Now not only can you keep you feet dry and warm, but you can look ultra stylish at the same time in these wedges. And we all know how comfortable a wedge can be! You'll be wishing for rain!
One thing that the folks at Beehive do is think through the details! What a girl needs when she stomping around in the cold rain puddles is socks inside her boots to keep her feet snugly warm. In addition to our
Rain Bops we are stocking the Fleece
Bop Socks in 4 colors (pink, white, brown and black) and 2 sizes custom made to fit our boots. How adorable are these?! Stop by or call us at 336-940-5501 to try on all the combination of colors of socks with the functional boots. See you soon!
