Erica Hession founded Aeri Rose in 2010. She emails, “Aeri Rose is one part whimsical and fresh clothing design house, and one part travel blog and independent publishing house. From early February to late November, I travel around the country to outdoor art markets and Renaissance festivals where I sell my fairy- and nature-inspired women’s clothing. I design and do most production and sales. This year, I’m putting managers in my retail outlets to step away from the front line, and I’m evaluating opportunities for production in the States and abroad. I’m excited for the positive changes.”
