As you deck your halls for the holiday season, look to these fabulous Southern makers and shops! Image: Bauble Stockings
The right accessory can tell a story, inspire a smile, or start a tradition. These small studios, indie designers, and renowned boutiques across the South are stocked with holiday ornaments and stockings that are redefining yuletide charm one tassel, thread, and sparkle at a time.
Bauble Stockings | Atlanta, GA
Bauble Stockings is a Southern go-to with a distinct niche: hand-stitched needlepoint stockings (and their signature ornament-sized “Bauble”) designed to be heirlooms or meaningful keepsakes. Based in Atlanta, they focus on a clever tradition — each Bauble Stocking is meant to hold, or hint at, a final special gift of the season. The stitching work is finished in Haiti, ensuring fair trade labor practices. Bauble fans adore the craftsmanship, collectability, and sense of ritual these stocking ornaments bring.
Glitterville Studios | Knoxville, TN
Glitterville Studios, based in Knoxville, is the wildly creative, highly visual holiday brand of celebrity designer Stephen Brown. And the ornament and stocking offerings are anything but subtle. Hand-painted (and often gold-leafed) resin and glass ornaments shaped like skiers, stars, birdcages, cocktails, cacti, llamas, camels, and oversized whimsical characters of all stripes grace the pages of options from their holiday collection. (Some will be released soon, so sign up to get notified when your favorite pieces go live!)
Furbish Studio | Raleigh, NC
Furbish Studio — an online gift emporium based in Raleigh — brings its eye-catching, eclectic design to ornaments and stockings alike. Its ornament collection, which spans more than 400 pieces (as of our last check!), includes “matchbook destination” ornaments, cheeky needlepoint statements, pop-culture nods, and more.
Coton Colors by Laura Johnson | Tallahassee, FL
Laura Johnson, the brains, designer, and hand letterer behind Coton Colors, is known for her cheerful glass ornaments that layer into holiday decor both on and off the tree. Her ornament stock features classic glass round ornaments — hand-painted and gift-boxed — in a limitless range of themes, from sports teams to milestones and general holiday motifs. Whatever you can dream up, she’ll make into an ornament!
Fig & Dove | Baton Rouge, LA
Fig & Dove, founded by interior designer Colleen Waguespack, is a luxury-minded holiday decor brand that truly shines around the holidays. This is that “IYKYK” spot for classic, buy-once ornaments and stockings that lean plush, luxe, and elegant.
Its collaborations include limited-release Bauble Stockings, as well as hand-painted/handmade glass and acrylic ornament sets by Southern artists — all exclusive to Fig & Dove. Savvy shoppers are drawn to Fig & Dove’s elevated materials, cohesive palettes, and decor that integrates into a high-end home. This handsome ornament stand makes a fabulous accessory to your purchase.
Noonday | Austin, TX
The list cannot be complete without some fabulously intricate felt cuties, and this Austin maker has the best. Designed with purpose and heart, Noonday’s felt ornament collection celebrates artisan craftsmanship and global connection. Each piece, like the charming Wonder Whale or Giddy Goldfish ornaments, is hand-stitched and thoughtfully detailed with glass beads and sequins. These are display-worthy all year long.
Rifle Paper Co. | Winter Park, FL
We’ve long adored Rifle Paper Co.‘s… well, paper. But their holiday collection of ornaments and stockings brings an artsy charm to the mantel and the tree. Their embroidered stockings — rich velvet in nutcracker, floral, and nativity designs — feel timeless yet fresh, the kind you’ll pull out year after year. Matching ornaments, crafted in porcelain and detailed felt, echo the same whimsical artwork that defines the brand’s stationery.
Seltzer Goods | Asheville, NC
Based in Asheville, Seltzer Goods is a women-led design studio that infuses everyday items with creative wit and charm. Its holiday collection features embroidered felt ornaments with cozy, playful motifs. Think cozy coffee shops and bookstores, festive furry animals, and woodland scenes. In terms of stockings, you can find fun canvas patterns that break the mold of the traditional stockings you might see on many Southern mantles.
Tart by Taylor | Dallas, TX
Tart by Taylor (from Taylor Dean, a recent FACE of the South we loved chatting with) specializes in playful, contemporary ornaments and seasonal decor with acrylic glow, bright colors, and statement shapes. Tart by Taylor offers a wide selection of giftable ornaments, perfect for your favorite photo, mini artwork, or even a baby’s hand or footprint. The possibilities are endless with these ornament frames, which are best-sellers year-round.
LucyCreatess on Etsy | Glen Allen, VA
We stumbled upon one of the more creative ornament makers on Etsy: LucyCreatess. Her two main customizable ornaments are a snow globe filled with teeny-tiny custom books for the bookworm in your life. And then a classic hand-stitched portrayal of your little one’s name in their handwriting! Both of Lucy’s handmade ornaments would make the perfect gift.
The Textile Treasure | Round Rock, TX
The Textile Treasure offers artisan-made block-printed cotton home decor — from table linens to holiday pieces — that are all the rage right now at Round Top and beyond. Founder Renu launched the shop to bring Jaipur’s skilled textile traditions into everyday U.S. homes, with each piece handmade in India and curated for quality. Customers love the authentic artistry, thoughtful details (like scalloped piping or personalization), and the accessible scale: you’ll find Christmas stockings and tree skirts alongside everyday linens.
The Tiny Tassel | Charleston, SC
Happy 10th anniversary to The Tiny Tassel, the colorful Charleston boutique that started the tassel earring trend and has since expanded stratospherically. Their just-dropped ornament collection features about a dozen hand-beaded designs we can’t get enough of. Think coastal references, Charleston-inspired lettering, whimsical pets, and dessert motifs. These pieces aren’t mass-produced, yet they’re affordable and ready to ship and gift!
Eugenie | Summerland Key, FL
With more than 400,000 sales and 70,000 4.9-star-average reviews to show for it, this Florida Keys designer and embroiderer rules the Etsy stocking world. Eugenie2 is a go-to resource for Christmas stockings of virtually every style imaginable: Faire Isle cable-knit, oversized solid velvet, tapestry appliqué, needlepoint, Scandinavian patterns, and more.
This shop is tailor-made for those building a full family collection or needing one-off pieces with personality. With a wide range of materials and strong personalization options — including names, initials, and monograms — each stocking feels truly custom.
Lauren Dunn | Brentwood, TN
Lauren Dunn is a Tennessee-based designer who’s long specialized in colorful, acrylic creations. Her holiday collection (ornaments, napkin holders, and tabletoppers) feels like functional pieces of modern art. With a robust ornament range (such as angels, team mascots, and playful graphics), Lauren’s pieces don’t feel like you’ve seen them everywhere. She also offers incredible display-ready curios, such as whimsical nativity scenes, three-dimensional villages and trees, nutcrackers, and more.
