The Story of Annia Louisa
Annia Louisa was born not by chance, but by vision, heritage, and an unshakable love for beauty and discovery.
Founder Annia Jenkins, a Louisiana native, is not only a fashion designer but also a Registered Nurse with over 16 years of service in healthcare. Her career in nursing, rooted in compassion and dedication, shaped her ability to care deeply for people—a value that seamlessly carries into her work in design, where every collection is created to inspire, uplift, and connect.
Alongside her late mother, Cynthia Hightower- Jenkins, Annia first built a reputation in Dallas, Texas, as a globally recognized luxury concierge and bespoke experience consultant through All Things Beautiful & Co. Together, they curated unforgettable journeys that blended sophistication, culture, and breathtaking destinations—always with meticulous attention to detail and exquisite taste.
In 2020, their shared passion for travel and artistry sparked a new idea: to expand their lifestyle brand into fashion. They envisioned a resort wear collection that merged travel and style, allowing collectors to experience the world from anywhere in the world. Drawing inspiration from their journeys, Annia and Cynthia began designing bold, destination-inspired prints that celebrated the beauty of faraway places.
By July 2021, their first collection was complete—an elegant embodiment of wanderlust and heritage. Yet just three days before its debut, tragedy struck. Cynthia, Annia’s beloved mother and co-founder, passed away unexpectedly, leaving an irreplaceable void.
With resilience and determination shaped by both her years in nursing and her devotion to her mother’s legacy, Annia pressed forward. In October 2021, she soft-launched Annia Louisa in Cynthia’s honor, ocially unveiling the brand in 2022. Each piece carries the legacy of their bond and the shared belief that fashion can be a passport—transporting its wearer to the world’s most inspiring destinations.
Today, Annia Louisa stands as more than a resort wear label—it is a tribute to love, legacy, resilience, and the beauty of exploration.
Annia Louisa is a luxury collection of resort wear, home accents, and limited-edition pieces with prints inspired by some of the most elaborate travel destinations around the world.

​“The Annia Louisa collection, known for its breezy silhouettes, vibrant prints, and sophisticated details, tells the story of a beautiful mother-daughter relationship. My mother and I loved to travel to exotic destinations around the world and dreamed of the ones that we would take on next. I launched this brand in memory of my mother and our journeys together that have now transformed into priceless, unforgettable moments. Annia Louisa is a lifestyle brand that captures the essence of vacation-ready glamour, created to share our experiences with jet setters and connoisseurs of "all things beautiful.”

For the love of India...
India is a dreamland full of rich culture, beautiful natives, and some of the most exclusive textiles. India is the second-largest producer of raw silk in the world, and is credited with developing the art of draping cloth.
​
When Annia first traveled to the “silk city,” she fell in love with the fabrics, colors, markets, local artisans, creatives, silk weavers, and strong women who work hard to provide for their families while boldly fighting for their rights each and every day.
​
Annia Louisa found its manufacturer nestled within the rich heritage, artistic talents, and breathtaking sites of India where our fabrics and prints are now produced.
Local Philanthropy
Philanthropically speaking, those causes that impact abused women, underserved children, homelessness, cancer research, mental health, human trafficking and bullying are especially meaningful to Annia Louisa.
​
As a company, we care passionately about the communities in which we live, work and travel. We channel those passions by meaningfully sowing into communities in order that we may leave them a little better than we found them.
We are known internationally for our philanthropic arm, and for partnering with charities worldwide.
Sustainability
Annia Louisa is committed to reducing our footprint while still providing our jetsetters and collectors luxurious prints, fabrics, clothing, and goods. Each print is cut with precision to eliminate waste at all levels of our manufacturing process.
No fabric goes unused!
