HB Loves Charleston

What a special time in Charleston! We returned to Hunter’s South Carolina roots to celebrate 20 years of Hunter Bell with an afternoon full of thoughtful details and memorable moments. Guests enjoyed bubble cocktails and live painting with our print designer, a sun-soaked swim preview and a beautiful seated luncheon, before ending the day with a sweet surprise.

Set along Murray Boulevard, the celebration unfolded in a historic home on The Battery with sweeping views of the Charleston Harbor. A wraparound porch and poolside setting created the perfect backdrop for the afternoon, while tables were dressed in our Spring linens and napkins, adding a thoughtful, signature touch.

The afternoon was as much about the people as it was about the celebration. We were surrounded by an incredible group of women whose warmth, kindness, and support shaped the spirit of the day. Each guest brought her own perspective to the Spring Collection, styling bright florals, blue and white, gingham, and coastal prints with effortless individuality.

A highlight of the afternoon was the debut of our growing swim collection. Unveiled poolside, the collection introduced new styles and cover-ups arriving throughout April, May, and June, designed for effortless days in the sun.

The preview also featured our new tote bags and a first look at our upcoming hat collaboration with Freya, offering a glimpse of what’s to come for the season ahead.

The afternoon was defined by its details. Guests sipped bubble cocktails and gathered around a custom mood board cake inspired by the Spring Collection.

Live painting by our print designer brought the moment to life, while a seasonal menu, curated wines, and lush florals set the tone. Live music carried the celebration throughout the day.

Just when guests thought the afternoon couldn’t get any better, a Hunter Bell branded ice cream truck pulled up for a sweet surprise. Scoops in hand, it was the perfect, playful ending to an unforgettable day.

The celebration continued in Charleston! Through April 19 our HB-branded pedicabs rode around town and customers shopped our trunk show at Hampden with custom painted windows by our print designer.
