Meet our Makers


​The Southern Mercantile has a heart for not only selling, but creating products you'll love.

We've asked a few friends to join us in making unique and beautifully crafted items that are now available to you.

We hope you enjoy meeting our makers and choose to support their craft by also enjoying their products.  

The Southern Mercantile

​Here at The Southern Mercantile, we not only enjoy curating our charming collection of simple, southern items; we also have fun making them! From lovely flower crowns to sweet embroidered vintage hankies to small-batch jams and jellies, all our items are carefully crafted by hand to bring you simple living, southern charm at its best!
