The erin gray design Story
erin gray design launched at AmericasMart in 2016 — jewelry first, made on the floor of her kids’ playroom. Erin had spent more than fifteen years in corporate marketing — sports, entertainment, television, product — before turning her creative talent into her own business. Atlanta-designed, women-owned, family-run.
Both her stepmother-in-law and her mother were diagnosed with pancreatic cancer within a year of each other. Erin lost her stepmother-in-law in 2015 and her mother in February 2020. The grief sharpened the mission: build a business that gave back, that made people feel good about themselves, that made a difference. erin gray design dedicates monthly contributions to CURE Childhood Cancer and helps provide meals to over 500 hospitalized children and family members each year.
The Perfect White Tee — the line’s apparel debut — launched in March 2020, right into the COVID-19 pandemic, after Erin found a manufacturer willing to produce her own designs in real Peruvian Pima cotton. Made exclusively for erin gray design. Pre-washed and pre-shrunk before it ever reaches the customer. Tagless. The brand still pours its energy into the same two categories today: an apparel line you can pack for a weekend, and a 14K gold-filled jewelry program that wears like solid gold at a third of the price.
erin gray design is now a Tango line as of May 2026 — alongside Erin’s own ongoing AmericasMart booth. That partnership is brand-new, which means the production team is still in its catch-up window. With every store, I’ll keep an honest read on what’s in stock now, what ships on the 9/15 fall window, and what’s coming in August for game day.
Here’s how I’d start a Tennessee or Kentucky store on the line: Celia first (it’s sold out thirty times). Add the gold-filled bracelet program if you have the wall. Stack a few small-batch pieces — the new cap-sleeve puffer, the washable totes, the pajamas that arrived last week — and you have a tee customer who comes back four seasons a year instead of just summer.
Celia — the proven entry point
Celia is erin gray design’s short-sleeve Pima cotton tee, and it has sold out thirty times. Slub fabric tuned through multiple iterations to keep it from going see-through or thin in the wash. Tagless. Pre-washed, pre-shrunk before it ever leaves Peru. Opening colors for a new TN or KY store: white, black, Arctic blue, linen, navy, oyster.
If you’ve sold tees that warped or shrank up so the customer couldn’t wear them after one wash, Celia is the antidote. The Pima is pre-washed and pre-shrunk before it leaves Peru, so it survives a normal washer-and-dryer cycle without torquing or losing shape. That’s the difference between Pima cotton developed for this fabric and the off-the-shelf 100% cotton you’ve probably stocked in the past.
Celia is also the long-sleeve in the same fabric and the same fit philosophy. Sister styles in the tee family: Grace (slightly ruched sleeve, button up) and Sophie (great under a vest, made for layering). For a new store I’d start with Celia and add Grace or Sophie based on the customer in front of you. Core neutrals across all three replenish on a monthly cycle — thirty-day max return window if a core color goes out of stock.
If you’re new to erin gray design and want one place to start, this is the shirt to start with.

How erin gray design is made
The Pima cotton is the foundation. erin gray design developed the fabric with her Peruvian mill — it is not pulled off a shelf. Pima cotton uses extra-long staple fibers, roughly fifty percent longer than the standard cotton in most boutique tees. The slub version went through multiple production iterations before launch to keep it from going see-through or developing holes in the first season. Every shirt is pre-washed and pre-shrunk before it ships, so the retailer is never the one explaining why the customer’s tee is two sizes smaller after the dryer. Tagless. Open sizing XS–XL across all shirts (no packs), minimum run of five per style per color, sizes can be mixed.
It’s all real — and that is the difference. The 14K gold-filled beads are the category standard; our understanding is the better beaded lines all source them from the same American maker, so the gold itself is not where erin gray design stands apart. The difference is everything else on the strand. The accent beads are genuine: real glass, real freshwater pearls (rice and baroque, so no two are exactly alike), and real semi-precious stones like sodalite, angelite, and mother-of-pearl. Nothing on the line is plastic, and the pearls are real freshwater, so they keep their luster instead of peeling and the stones hold their color. The gold-filled itself is true 14K — actual gold melted with brass, not painted or plated, with no flake-off — and it is all waterproof, so customers can swim, sweat, and shower in it without losing the finish. The sterling carries an anti-tarnish coat that keeps it looking right on a stand for months instead of weeks. A customer can feel the difference the second she picks it up — it has the weight and life of fine jewelry, because that is exactly what is in it.
The display program supports the line. The two-bar and three-bar bracelet stands typically retail for $45 each, and erin gray design gives them free with a full stand fill. The necklace stand is the same deal. A rotating display lets earrings and bracelets share real estate; a stretch-bracelet stand showcases the initial program; a card display holds the Waterpony bracelets and the stretch rings. Branded erin gray design gift bags come with stand setup. If you have the wall space, the jewelry program turns into a fixture, not a section.
The giving is built in. erin gray design dedicates monthly contributions to CURE Childhood Cancer and helps provide meals to over 500 hospitalized children and family members each year. Erin lost her stepmother-in-law in 2015 and her mother in 2020, both to pancreatic cancer; the giving is personal, not a marketing line. The brand also commits to the boutique channel: no Amazon, by design.
The freight policy is fair. If erin gray design is the one holding up a shipment — one or two colors out of stock on a big order — they ship the rest immediately and don’t charge freight on the second shipment. That is a small thing that adds up across the year for an active reorder relationship.

What makes erin gray design different from other Pima cotton or gold-filled lines?
Three things. First, the Pima cotton fabric is developed exclusively for erin gray design with her Peruvian mill, and every shirt is pre-washed and pre-shrunk before it leaves Peru — the customer can wash and dry on high and it holds shape. Second, the jewelry is real 14K gold-filled (mixed with brass and melted, not plated or painted), so it wears like solid gold at a third of the price, and it is waterproof. Third, erin gray design protects the boutique channel: no Amazon, by design. The line ships to 800+ independent boutiques nationally, supported by CURE Childhood Cancer giving every year, and erin gray design’s ten-year anniversary lands in December 2026.
