Speaking on Business: Minky Couture

This is Derek Miller, Speaking on Business. Minky Couture has grown from a heartfelt mission into a beloved brand known for comfort and luxury with eight retail locations and a thriving online store. At its core, the company is all about comfort and community. Owner and Founder, Sandi Hendry, joins us with more. Sandi Hendry: Minky Couture began with a desire to bring comfort to those in need. In 2009, when my daughter became ill and was hospitalized, I longed for a way to bring her comfort in her recovery. Unable to find the perfect blanket to bring her solace, I created one myself – giving rise to Minky Couture, best blanket ever. After 30 years as a teacher, I knew that I wanted Minky Couture to positively impact as many lives as possible. We employ local mothers as seamstresses, allowing them to work from home providing for their families and strengthening our community. Our “Heart of Minky” program is another way we give back, donating thousands of Mini Minky blankets each month to NICUs across the country. These blankets bring warmth and comfort to premature babies and to their families during very difficult times. At Minky Couture, every blanket is made with the highest quality fabric, ensuring both softness and luxury for years to come. Derek Miller: Minky Couture is dedicated to making a difference, one blanket at a time, blending warmth, comfort and community impact. Learn more at their website, MinkyCouture.com.
