Crocker Park's Banyan Tree to Host Cleveland Designer Showcase

From Banyan Tree: Crocker Park’s Banyan Tree will host a showcase event Saturday, March 11 from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. for Cleveland designer Grace + Ricci, specializing in high-quality, versatile workout to workday activewear for today’s modern woman.

The all American-made Grace + Ricci line, launched in November, features beautiful silhouettes, flattering cuts and layered fabrics of the highest quality technical materials to transition women from workout to daily activities with style and confidence. Grace + Ricci designer Mary Grace Staph was inspired to develop the line after struggling to stylishly dress for all occasions and activities throughout her busy day as a mom and businesswoman.

“As women, we are often running from the gym to the office or to pick up our kids at school. We feel uneasy showing up in midriff-bearing tops, low-cut bottoms or sheer fabrics that reveal more than they should,” Staph said. “The Grace + Ricci line provides comfortable style that enables women to perform all their daily tasks wearing garments that function in every setting.”

The showcase event, to be held at the Banyan Tree Crocker Park store, 162 Main Street in Westlake, will provide attendees with a first glimpse at the line and the opportunity to meet the designer. Spa refreshments will be provided.

Since opening its first store in Tremont in 2001, Banyan Tree has become known for its commitment to supporting the local community, as well as locally designed and developed products.

“We are thrilled for this opportunity to support a fellow Cleveland designer and feature the Grace + Ricci line,” said Banyan Tree founder Christie Murdoch. “As a working mother myself, I know our customers will love both the style and versatility of these fashions.”

In addition to the Tremont and Crocker Park stores, Banyan Tree also has an additional store on the Eastside at Legacy Village. Customers can also shop online at shopbayantree.com. For more information on Grace + Ricci, visit graceandricci.com.
