Moms At Genesis Women's Shelter Remembered This Christmas Thanks To Texas Jewelry Company

NORTH TEXAS (CBSDFW.COM) — The co-owners of local jewelry line Allie + Bess took jewelry supplies to the Genesis Women's Shelter to help the kids staying there make bracelets to give to their moms for the holidays.

Allie Wardlaw and Bess Callarman are local moms and friends who co-founded Allie and Bess in August of 2019. With an initial investment of just $100, the brand has expanded exponentially to now operate with a run rate of more than $2.5M.

They say they wanted to ensure the moms are remembered this holiday season.

"During the holidays, kids are for sure the focus and sometimes the mothers get forgotten, so we wanted to make sure they feel special and loved during this holiday season," Callarman described.

They say some of the kids got so into making the jewelry for their moms, that they made matching necklaces or bracelets for themselves.
