ABOUT US

We’re a mother-daughter duo with a deep-rooted passion for creating beautiful, meaningful things by hand. Our journey began long before we officially started Little Honey—in fact, Amy was sewing before she could even walk.

The name Little Honey holds a special place in our hearts. Amy’s father, Otto Francis, affectionately called her “Little Honey” during their many conversations about life, often with his signature blend of humor and wisdom. One moment stands out: “Little Honey... come here, let me teach you how to change a tire in case I die.” That was his way—tough love, fiercely protective, and always teaching. He wanted his youngest daughter to be strong, capable, and independent.

Amy’s mother, Carroll Lee Faught, was a no-nonsense, hardworking woman from the South. She passed down practical skills like sewing and cooking—along with her honest, tell-it-like-it-is approach to life. Amy inherited not just her mother's abilities but also her tenacity.

As for Lily, she quite literally followed in her mother’s footsteps. From a young age, she watched Amy turn fabric into purses, mittens, Halloween costumes—you name it. She grew up sifting through walls of vibrant fabric with wide-eyed wonder, developing the same love for color, pattern, and texture. Over the years, mother and daughter became creative partners—attending art fairs, wandering antique shops, and dreaming up new projects together. They started small, turning covered buttons into bookmarks, earrings, and hair clips.

Amy eventually discovered a new passion: jewelry making. Inspired by the natural-meets-chic aesthetic of brands like Sundance, she began designing pieces that combined earthy elegance with refined craftsmanship. Her work quickly evolved into a collection of earrings, necklaces, and bracelets made with natural materials—each piece a reflection of her eye for detail and love for the Southwest landscape. A move to Las Vegas in 2015 only deepened that connection, surrounded by red rocks and turquoise skies.

As Lily matured, her perspective shifted. The teenage years brought a desire to “fit in,” often at the expense of individuality. But eventually, she came to truly see the artistry in her mother’s work—and to appreciate the soul and story behind handcrafted goods. She joined Amy in the studio, not just as a helper, but as a creative equal. Together, they continue to grow Little Honey, blending tradition, artistry, and a whole lot of love.

We believe in wearing what makes you feel good. What inspires you. What tells your story. Be yourself—and never be afraid to stand out.
