Ganache Couture

Quiana Smith

SF: What does your brand stand for?

QS: Ganache Couture features footwear, handbags, and other accessories from independent designers and emerging lines. Ganache is a type of frosting. I believe that shoes, handbags, and accessories in general serve as the icing on one’s image….thus Ganache Couture!

SF: What is the inspiration?

QS: Individuality is the inspiration of Ganache Couture. Creating your own image instead of mimicking what you see others do. We provide a small number of hard to find items so our customers don’t have to worry about everyone wearing the same shoes or carrying the same bag that they purchase from us.

SF: Who are your customers?

QS: Fashionistas who are or want to be ahead of the fashion curve and who are confident individuals who create their own image.

SF: What’s new this season?

QS: We are closing out our fall and winter season now, so look for a slight change in Ganache Couture for the spring and summer. We will still carry footwear and handbags but will also pick up tees, jackets, and more belts.

SF: What items are people responding to most?

QS: Our most popular selling item is the eggplant pony hair Wino handbag from Tarah Smith. It’s a very unique bag and the ladies love it! We are also receiving a lot of buzz from the Kathryn Amberleigh knee-high patent and cow leather boots.

SF: Are any celebs wearing your pieces?

QS: The Pussycat Dolls have worn the Velvet Angels Peepshow Bootie & Paris Hilton is an avid fan of Tarah Smith bag.

SF: How did you get started in the industry?

QS: I’ve always loved fashion, specifically footwear and handbags and how they make or break an outfit. I took that love (which is more like an obsession) and let it drive me. I’ve always wanted to be a merchandiser for a boutique, so I decided to start my own business instead of working for another company.

SF: What is your must-have item?

QS: Stilettos and a large, unique hobo bag! You can NEVER go wrong with these items. They can dress up a wife beater tank and jeans any day (if done correctly).

SF: What are you wearing right now?

QS: I’m absolutely in love with my tiger print pony hair Wino hobo from Tarah Smith, and I just splurged on a beautiful pair of Barbara Bui heels. I’m pretty simple when it comes to clothing. I’m a fitted t-shirt and jeans type of lady!

SF: Is there anything else you would like to share with the Shopflick community?

QS: Ganache Couture also provides image consulting, personal shopping, and personal styling services.
