About Us

It was time to make my company more personal!

A little about me and Theodore’s Collective:

It is a weird world where a 50 + year old California neanderthal lands in the women’s accessory world… Four sisters steered Ted (Theodore) into school, sports, travel, old movies, bad 70s music without showing him that fashion matters and a woman’s handbag is an extension of her personality.

After teaching high school for 16 years and doing a world walkabout for most of his 40s, Ted accidentally landed as a supplier of name-brand accessories for Ruelala, Zulily—the devil that is Amazon and several smaller outfits. In his search for Tory Burch, Kate Spade and the like, he found boutiques, outlets, bag hoarders that befriended him, educated him, and, most importantly, directed him to great deals and some unique, catchy items.

Unfortunately, he still speaks ‘dude talk’ of first downs and Jeopardy... so enters his fashionista advisor and marketing guru, Sara. She knows the trends, speaks the language, and connects with a woman’s sense of fashion necessity. Also from Southern California, but now in Jacksonville, Florida, she fantasized about a crossbody from Prada and mastered the necessities of what turned heads, and made a woman melt while still saving her pennies.

With this Theodore’s Collective, they can better communicate the cool and pass on the right price that the big online suppliers cannot. 

The Theodore's Collective is located in San Clemente, California.
