Andrea Creary, CEO/Owner of Hats & Bags by Reference grew in up in Oracabessa, St. Mary. While growing up, she was always in love with fashion and enjoyed dressing up. Creary would always try on her moms and grandmothers clothes, accessories and shoes. Fashion is something that was innate. It was my first love and so I opened my first clothing store in Kingston, Reference. I thoroughly enjoyed styling people, making them happy and giving them a boost of confidence.
Now she has two daughters, Paige and Caylee, who love fashion also and dressing them up has become something she fully enjoys. This is how Hats & Bags By Reference came to fruition. “We decided to start an online store, selling hats, bags and accessories. Hats, bags and sunglasses can enhance any outfit, taking them up a notch,” Creary.
The company sells a variety of different style hats and bags that come in various different colours and sizes; all trendy and fashionable and ready to pair with any outfit. “We decided to add sunglasses to our offering, as they too add a little spice to any ensemble and to provide quality products all while giving Jamaicans ages 5 and up, male and female, access to a wide selection to choose from,” Creary.
