New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Jill Milan, a provider of luxury fashion and accessories, today announced Maddie Marlow and Tae Dye, known collectively as the music duo Maddie & Tae, each carried the Jill Milan Art Deco
Clutch to the Country
Music Association Awards Wednesday in Nashville, Tenn., where their debut video for "Girl in a Country Song" was recognized as
Music Video of the Year. The team was also nominated for the New Artist of the Year and Duo of the Year categories.
"Maddie and Tae looked wonderful Wednesday night, and it was so nice of them to both carry our Art Deco Clutch," said Jill Fraser, founder and CEO of Jill Milan. "The clutches in gold and silver were part of two great ensembles." The duo was styled for the CMA Awards by celebrity stylist Tiffany Gifford.
The Art Deco
Clutch - Maddie Marlow carried it in gold and Tae Dye carried it in silver - is entirely handmade in Florence, Italy, of fully recyclable Italian stainless steel, and the logo serves as the clutch's latch. All Jill Milan products are free of animal-based materials such as leather, fur and wool. Ms. Fraser, a longtime vegan and supporter of animal-welfare initiatives, was inspired to found Jill Milan because she was unable to find high-quality, luxury handbags that were not made of leather or other animal-based materials. Jill Milan was named Vegan Business of the Year by Vegans Are Cool.
