When looking to enter the CBD space, alice + olivia CEO and Creative Director Stacey Bendet was immediately drawn to Olivia Alexander, the founder and CEO of Kush Queen. “I have been in the business of empowering women through fashion since 2002,” said Bendet, “When learning about Kush Queen, and Olivia, I immediately saw the alignment of our brands with her empowerment of women through wellness. A partnership between the two brands became a natural and complimentary fit.”
“I am incredibly excited to be partnering with Stacey to create products for alice + olivia,” says Olivia Alexander Founder of Kush Queen. “The alice + olivia brand has always been at the forefront of fashion and ahead of the curve with creativity and collaborations. I am honored they came to me and feel there couldn’t be a more perfect partner for Kush Queen.”
Kush Queen is a woman-owned cannabis brand renowned for quality, innovative cannabis wellness and lifestyle products that range from both non-psychoactive hemp-derived CBD, and THC/CBD cannabis topicals.
