Inspired by fashion and an unrelenting desire to host the best dinner parties of all time: founder & lead designer Kristen Bowen created House of Gleason to celebrate the art of homemaking.

From her upbringing in rural Michigan to her home studio in North Carolina, Kristen draws from her family’s rich history of skillful and creative handiwork and a love of fashion to create high-quality linens and accessories for the home. One part southern hospitality, one part Martha Stewart, and one part rebellious daughter— Kristen’s designs surprise and delight ostentatious hosts of any age.
