Jane Scott Hodges,
founder,
Talley-Ho Design

Influenced by her Southern upbringing and a belief in the importance of heritage, Jane Scott Hodges was always fascinated with antiques and heirlooms. At the same time she was preparing for her wedding, she stumbled upon her own great grandmother’s trousseau in the cellar of her parents’ 1780s Kentucky farmhouse. Inspired by her discovery, Jane sought out her very own bridal trousseau emblazoned with her new monogram. But after scouring the New Orleans shops and boutiques where she and her soon-to-be husband lived, she was surprised and disappointed by the lack of custom fine linens, and thus she identified a need in the marketplace.

Upon returning to Kentucky for her wedding, she discovered the historic Eleanor Beard studio, an studio made famous by Eleanor Beard, whose exquisite, handmade quilts gained prominence during the early 20th century in spite of the Great Depression. Jane set up shop at this studio, and began Leontine Linens in 1996 to showcase their artisinal work.

Talley-Ho Design is her latest venture, a small company that hand-creates custom, monogrammed accessories such as cosmetic bags and personal totes. Founded in 2010 to fulfill a void in the marketplace for charming, well-made accessories, the Talley Ho collection is a beautiful yet simple line of sought-after styles that have stood the test of time.
