The Rhododendron Keychain

Morgan Rhea’s journey began the day she met Michael at orientation in 2011 at Savannah College of Art and Design. Little did they know that they would be collaborating over the next four years and be married a few years later.

Morgan Rhea began in early 2015 after Morgan returned from her apprenticeship at the Coach Headquarters in New York City. After being surrounded by so many people, different ages, races, and ethnicities, this fueled her passion to share people's stories. Her senior collection, "Silently Speaking Gratitude," from SCAD would be the inspiration of their company. 

Morgan's journey brought her and Michael to West Virginia. They started in a small warehouse studio in Charleston, hand punching and hand stitching each hole. They now design and make each accessory in their studio located in South Charleston. Morgan's family helps in the everyday operations and they truly believe in family values and keeping their heritage alive.
