Dionne McCray, founder, designer, and owner of Iva Jewell by Dionne, makes accessories for the bold, brave, and daring woman who likes bright colors and big prints. Dionne named the business after her mother, Iva Jewell, a former home economics teacher who inspired her love of fashion and design. With help from a Working Solutions loan through the SBA Microloan program, she has completed the first run of her line of fold-over clutches, laptop sleeves, and oversized totes made from African wax fabric and Indian saree lace. Read more about Dionne’s story here.
