In 2009, Fashion Institute of Technology alum Gable Sheikh and her husband Ed, the second-highest menswear producer for Ralph Lauren's Dallas store, opened their store, Hadleigh's, in their very own home. They eventually opened a store in Dallas's upscale shopping plaza, Highland Park Village. Through the help of Neiman-Marcus, the brand—named after their little girl—went national, developing smoking slippers and women's clothes characterized by bright colors, gingham prints, and ruffles. Each Hadleigh's clothing item is handmade in Italy with 100% luxurious Italian linen and cotton that are both breathable with a silky, soft feel.

“Every day we have the great honor of working in a place with our daughter’s name on it," said Gable. "It is a sense of ownership and pride making sure everything is of the utmost quality and all of our customers are part of our family.”
