Mabel’s Table founders Diane Hanson + Holly Tunkel share a passion for textiles. Mabel Crowley, Diane’s grandmother + Holly’s great-grandmother, set this in motion. An icon to the family, she was a seamstress + entrepreneur in Cookeville, Tennessee, at a time when women rarely worked outside the home. In her 20s, while working at the local overalls factory, she advanced to Floor Manager. She later went on to start her own tomato cannery and a successful tailoring business. Mabel had flawless taste + instilled in her family–probably without even knowing it–an eye for fine fabrics + an appreciation of hand-wrought work. Mabel taught Diane to sew as a young girl + Diane’s mother, Christine, taught Holly to sew. Fabric runs in the blood. They are passionate about what they’re doing at Mabel’s Table + create their work in honor of Mabel (1894–1967). Mabel’s Table represents the spirited collaboration of mother-daughter duo Diane Hanson + Holly Tunkel of Santa Fe. Diane + Holly combine their creativity + experience with a bold, sometimes minimalist, other times ultra-modern design aesthetic rooted as much in the lineage of their matriarchal ancestor as in the spectacular mountainous terrain that surrounds them in New Mexico. Creating linens with character and soul is what Mabel’s Table is all about.
