About Anna Maxin
Anna Maxin has made Austin her home for nine years and to
balance out her career in software marketing, she decided to
take on the creative challenge of designing fashionable, unique
jewelry. In her spare time she began learning the craft of jewelry
making and designing accessories to coordinate with the burnt
orange color the University of Texas is known for. What started
as orange quickly turned to everyday wear as the palate of colors
extended to meet the custom needs of her customers.
For Anna, jewelry design was only the beginning. The inspiration
for all things that sparkle brought about hand set crystal
embellished flip flops, which in turn led to the hand sewn shoe
bags her customers receive with every purchase. Finally, there
was the creation of Biscuit & Gravy dog collars in the Summer of 2008. The brand, named
for Maxin's two boxers, takes style to the necks of our four-legged companions.
Anna Maxin Signature Style
"My jewelry and accessories are stylish and unique. All my jewelry is feminine and
wearable – sometimes you even forget you’re wearing it because it’s light and
comfortable, that is until you get a complement. I love how the simple addition of a piece
of jewelry can take a t-shirt and jeans from okay to oh yeah. And it might sound funny to
non-dog lovers, but since a collar is the only accessory my dogs wear I expect it to be as
fabulous as they are."
Her Inspiration
"Inspiration is everywhere if you listen and act upon it. I know that sounds all too cliché
but for years I’ve found myself saying “it can’t be hard to make that”, “why isn’t someone
making ___” or “I could learn to make that”. And I finally just took the leap and did it. It
took yet another football season going by of looking like everyone else at Texas® games
to push me over the edge."
Her Aspiration
“My customers want “fabulous” products and they don’t want to settle for the average,
everyday alternative. My goal is to create products that elicit individual style and keep
you from looking like the rest of the crowd or pack."
