It’s been a busy year for Elyce Arons, co-founder and CEO of Frances Valentine, the
accessories brand she co-created with the late Kate Spade.
After rolling out the company’s first retail location in Manhattan in November 2018, Arons has since helped open two more stores in Sag Harbor, New York, and Palm Beach, Florida. Beyond expanding Frances Valentine’s brick-and-mortar footprint, Arons said the company has gone through a critical growth period that has led to doubling its customer base by expanding into new product categories and better connecting with shoppers online.
