s is for schumacher

Get ready for a major fangirl moment! Responsible for so many of our favorite textiles, famed design house “Schumacher” has long been synonymous with “style.” In this episode, we sit down with Tori Mellot, Schumacher’s Style Director, who is smart, funny, and simply the chicest girl around. Nothing is off-limits in our chat with Tori, which includes a look back at her time at Domino and Traditional Home, a window into the exciting things happening at Schumacher, and an important conversation about what it means to be a working mom in the midst of a pandemic.
