After a successful career in management consulting, Connie Leal Ballenger followed her passion in 1993 to create a sanctuary where sophisticated women could discover their perfect style. As a busy entrepreneur, wife, and mother, Connie embodies the very woman Leál serves—accomplished, active, and unwilling to compromise on looking exceptional.
With an expert eye developed over decades, Connie personally selects every designer featured in our collection. Her relationships with prestigious fashion houses ensure Leál clients enjoy access to distinctive pieces rarely found elsewhere. Her true gift, however, is her ability to match each woman with styles that complement both their lifestyle and personal aesthetic.
"Fashion should serve your life, not complicate it.
The perfect wardrobe transitions effortlessly wherever the day takes you—always ensuring you look as remarkable as you are."
