Welcome to the World of Saunter

Insight into our dream come true.
This is our story.

Our goal is to have all women saunter through life — tenacious while radiant, always at her leisure.

The gentleman's smoking slipper but pretty and witty. We are redefining the classics and the traditional definition of what makes something the perfect pair.

The Founders

Our founders, Alison and Joan, are two sisters who couldn’t be more different.


Alison’s a dreamer, daring, and leads with empathy. 15 years as an industry expert in the brick & mortar landscape with her Marketing and Business degrees from the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising, Alison is the heart of Saunter.

Joan’s forthright, relentless and loves to read. With degrees from Sarah Lawrence College and Harvard University, her background in complex organizational structures makes Joan the driver.

Together their mission is clear:

Reimagine timeless classics.

“Our pieces represent who we are, our dreams, lived experience and milestones.”
