Specialties
As a family-owned operation, Hester & Cook began with a novel idea to re-purpose antique doorknobs into wine stoppers. The design-oriented business has since expanded to include Kitchen Papers, a boutique paper line featuring patterned table runners, napkins, stationary and much more. In addition to paper goods, Hester & Cook has launched a brand of stylish home accessories named Cake Vintage. Their gorgeous collection of home decor and gifts includes custom made lighting, table lamps, wine racks, greeting cards and silver cutlery. Hester & Cook goods can be found all over the world but we are glad they opened their home-town retail shop right here in Nashville!
History
Established in 2008.
Hester & Cook Design Group was founded is 2005, in the basement of Angie Hester & Robbie Cook's home. It was there that they, with the help of a couple friends, designed and produced items for the wholesale gift industry.
When their business and production studio needs outgrew their home, they relocated to midtown-Nashville on Broadway. It was there in 2008 that they opened the first iteration of their retail storefront which sold only the goods they produced themselves.
In 2012, Hester & Cook opened a very well received temporary pop-up shop in Hillsboro Village. Though the space was only available from Oct-Feb, it was very successful.
As business progressed, they soon found that they had outgrown their midtown location. In April of 2013, Hester & Cook found a new, much larger home on Eugenia Ave. in the Berry Hill district. They now carry many brands from across the United States in addition to their own, which are still produced on-site, just behind
