About Lindley Mayer
In 2005, our owner and creator served as Miss South Carolina Teen 2005. It was during her year that she realized how useful a custom crown box would be. Since that time, the design and dream to create this product has become a reality. With the help of her creative and talented mom, they designed what is now the original Crown Couture Collection Crown Purse. For five years, they perfected the design and the boxes are made right here in our hometown of GREENVILLE, South Carolina within the family business. Each purse is handcrafted from clear and colored panels and quality metal hardware. It is then customized with a beautiful beaded handle, personalized nameplate, mirror for touch-ups on the go, and a fabric pillow to protect a titleholder’s most treasured crown. The purses are roomy enough to hold a sash, autograph cards, pen, and lipstick and help the ladies make their appearances in style while keeping their crowns safe and in clear view. At home, it will double as a display case. It will also include a ribbon of choice and a customized charm. Nameplates can be added separately. Lindley is so thankful to her family and team who helped make her dream a reality. Crown Couture Collection is now represented in all 50 states and carried by Miss America’s, Miss USA’s, on red carpets, and even among celebrities today. The unmatched quality and originality is what sets the Crown Couture Collection apart and being able to produce the boxes within our family are so very special.
