The Elle Barksdale & Company Brand House, wondered and founded by Elle Barksdale in 2008, has developed and nurtured prestige, industry-driven brands, with a focus on curiosity and a crave for the creative mind. Straight up, we don’t want to work with everyone and we're highly selective. Simply stated; not everyone loves Starbucks Coffee, right? Whether you’re a well-established company or a brand-new start up, the truth is you’re bringing something great to the world and the right fit should be the only fit. Let us reveal your greatness and build your business through a perfect storm of smart strategy and dripping dope design.

Our compass is diversely broad, includes elite clientele, mom and pop shops, corporate companies, although not limited to the baby boomer with outlandish ideas if they all have a good ass story. Dapper House of Curators, powered by bad-ass women leaders and tastemakers, strive to deliver the most attractive styled brands, sustainability forums, and technical events available in the industry. This is one team that works very hard to present our clients and partners with tried and true leveled-up brands that we are proud to pose behind. Married to fashion, interior design, creative writing, theatre, and the arts with curious collaborators and through visionaries from across the nation.

High-performance brands with carefully thought-out ingredients, packaging, formation and design. Our brands are created together through you and industry veterans with both the industry professional and the end-consumer in mind. We run real tests with real humans before we run any brand across anybody. Iconic brands are the result.
