House of Thena

The Matriarch & the Root.

House of Thena is named for the woman who did a lot with a little — living off the land, holding a home together, and raising a family with more love than resources. It’s the oldest soul in the collection.

Who She Is

She is the one who came before and the one you’re slowly becoming. Resourceful, steady, and deeply rooted. She knows how to stretch a meal, mend a dress, and turn a small house into a full life.

  • Lives simply, but not small

  • Values land, family, and faith in her own quiet way

  • Sees memory as a kind of wealth

    How She Dresses / Moves

Thena’s style feels like stepping into an old family photograph: simple dresses, wrap pieces, knits, and layers that could have existed 50 years ago and still work now. Nothing is loud, but everything feels sure of itself.

You’ll find:

  • Classic, apron-leaning dresses and wrap styles

  • Cozy shawls, cardigans, and layering pieces that feel like “house clothes” but elevated

  • Textiles that look like they’ve lived in a cedar chest

  • Pieces that nod to homestead, kitchen, garden, and Sunday best

    Inside the House

In House of Thena, clothing sits alongside heirloom-feeling objects — candles named for kitchens and porches, vintage-style books, recipe-ish cards, and keepsakes tied to Southern and Black heritage. It’s the part of Preserve & Co. that honors where you come from and how far that legacy reaches.

For the Ones Who Remember the Root

House of Thena is for the ones who feel their people in the room — cooking, praying, working, watching.

If you measure your life in stories more than resume lines, this is your house.
