About Town: Alex Pethtel

I had so much fun getting to know Alex from Treillage. I love her passion for design and style. While I was there we talked about her arts education background and her love of jewelry. Read about her life in New York and working at Treillage.


Who are your favorite interior designers, other than Bunny Williams...
Mark Hampton, Steven Gambrel, and Joseph Dirand.

And lastly, she isn't a designer, but my mother has an amazing eye. She has really inspired me in many ways. I love the way she has put our home together!

Favorite part about living in New York...
How eclectic the city is. It's almost like you are in 100 different places at once. You can be on the Upper East Side and 20 minutes later transport downtown which has a completely different feel.

Where did you study...
SMU (Southern Methodist University), Pratt Institute, and Christie's.

Favorite place to shop...
Escada for clothes and Flair for home.

Favorite restaurant in New York...
Bubby's.

Favorite ASHA piece...
Zodiac Ring.

Favorite part about working at Treillage...
Obviously an enormous bonus to working at Treillage is the exposure to Bunny and John. Their design and aesthetics are amazing, of course, but their business savvy and people skills are enormously impressive as well.

I love seeing all the goodies they bring back from their travels and interacting with people in the store. You meet some really interesting people.
