Ansley Collins, Founder of Violette

Ansley Collins founded Violette, a collection of sun-protective apparel aimed to blend fashion with function. As a fair skinned red head, Ansley has always been acutely aware of the harmful and aging effects of sun damage. It wasn't until a beach vacation a couple of years ago that it dawned on her that there was a stark gap in the marketplace. With a passion for sun-protection and a keen eye for fashion, she had the vision to create the product she had always been looking for.

Since launching about one year ago, Violette as found much success and might even be expanding into other categories....stay tuned!
