Two of Upstate New York’s most beloved lifestyle brands are joining forces for a limited-edition collection just in time for the holidays. MacKenzie-Childs, known for its whimsical, upscale rural charm, and Beekman 1802, famous for its luxurious goat milk bodycare, are launching a new collaboration on QVC, Nov. 7. This pairing brings together the best of both brands: MacKenzie-Childs’ signature checked designs and Beekman 1802’s Covent Garden-scented bodycare. Fans may remember this scent from a previous collaboration, but this year’s collection goes all out with Sterling Check accessories, including a soap dish, Goatie soap dispenser, and body wash and lotion caddy. Covent Garden is a garden-inspired scent with notes of jasmine, wisteria, and wild honeysuckle, mixed with fresh green foliage and a hint of ylang ylang. Quantities of this collaboration are limited, and any leftover stock may be available at Beekman1802.com. MacKenzie-Childs, located in Aurora overlooking Cayuga Lake, is renowned for its hand-painted ceramics and distinctive home décor. Its annual Barn Sale is one of the most anticipated events of the year, drawing crowds of more than 26,000 visitors at its peak. Beekman 1802, set in the hills of spa-village Sharon Springs, began as a small goat farm and has grown into a lifestyle brand centered on luxurious goat milk skincare. Founded by Brent Ridge and Josh Kilmer-Purcell, the couple traded New York City life for a 60-acre Upstate farm during the 2008 financial crisis. They quickly turned their home, and the goats that lived there, into a thriving business with products like goat milk soap and gourmet cheese. Their products are now sold nationwide, but you can still visit their original storefront on Main Street.
