Imagine a leisurely stroll on a sunny afternoon through a field of wildflowers, bees buzzing, birds singing, the wind blowing your hair, lilac and yellow butterflies in flight and the sweet, sweet fragrance of saffron. Now, you know what delights inspired the creation of Smitherman & Barnwell.

Motivated by the Italian countryside surrounding a quaint villa in Italy, designer Vondra Barnwell-Williams set her sights on crafting fashion indulgences that were functional yet whimsically fantastic! Utilizing this beautiful setting that has stirred many of the world's renowned artists, her creations (including a beautiful dress collection as well a dog (Risotto) collection) are an apt tribute to the perfect palate of rich texture and amazing hues.

Smitherman & Barnwellhave developed a must-have dress collection for girls and an extensive collection for dogs that is exactly what you need to be the quintessential icon of absolute glamour!
