Auburn & Ivory honors spiritual and cultural legacy. Through keepsake craftsmanship and modern elegance, we celebrate heritage, inspire connection, and create timeless pieces that carry the Spirit.

The founder is a church girl: growing up in the pews, carried by generations of prayers, and choirs lifting every voice. Church is where faith, family, and fellowship beautifully intertwine.

Sundays were not just days of worship, they were days of community, of love, of becoming. Dressed in finest suits, hats, and gloves, gathered with pride, sharing life together and holding one another with care.

Auburn honors the peaceful strength of the Black Church—shaped by the founder’s upbringing and Atlanta’s legacy of social justice and spirit-led liberation along Auburn Avenue. Ivory represents the piano keys that carry generational melodies we hold dear. Together, Auburn & Ivory reflects a spiritual feeling passed across generations, race, and creed.

We create sacred goods that celebrate belonging, heirloom keepsakes rooted in cultural gathering and collective memory.

Each piece is designed to be carried today, lived with, and passed down, serving as a sacred reminder of grace, shared humanity, and the enduring power of community.

At the heart of Auburn & Ivory is a commitment to giving back. A portion of every purchase supports the preservation of African American Gospel music, helping ensure that the gospel music can continue to be nurtured, protected, and passed on to future generations.

Rooted in reverence and storytelling, Auburn & Ivory is open to thoughtful partnerships with cultural stewards—including institutions, museums, major brands, and churches—who share our commitment to honoring history while shaping what endures.

Carry the spirit forward
