At Bee Coco Candle in Geneva, IL, we're excited to introduce Grandir totes, a locally created brand designed right here in Geneva, Illinois by moms and friends Kate and Sarah.
About Grandir: A Local Story
Grandir was founded in November 2024. Kate and Sarah met in 2021 and quickly bonded over family, friendship, and the shared realities of busy daily life. As their daughters became friends and their families grew closer, they found themselves navigating packed schedules filled with school days, errands, travel, and all the beautiful chaos of raising families in Geneva.
Like so many of us, they wanted more simplicity and organization in their everyday routines.
Grandir — meaning "to grow" in French — reflects their journey as mothers, friends, and creators building something meaningful for their community.
Locally Designed Tote Bags in Geneva, Illinois
Grandir was created to help maintain order in our chaotic lives. Their products are thoughtfully designed for effortless organization. Drawing from a minimalist aesthetic and the need for high performance, Kate and Sarah designed timeless totes that support real life — without sacrificing style.
Each Grandir tote is:
- Functional — spacious enough for daily essentials
- Versatile — perfect for work, school, errands, and weekend outings
- Durable — built to handle the demands of everyday life
The totes are available in four classic color options — Gray, Black, Navy Blue, and Pink — making it easy to choose a style that fits your everyday look.
Meet the Geneva Moms Behind Grandir
What makes Grandir especially meaningful to us is the shared local connection. Kate and Sarah are Geneva, IL locals, creating products inspired by the same community we're proud to serve at Bee Coco Candle.
Their story is one of friendship, motherhood, and a shared desire to simplify the chaos of daily life. They designed Grandir for themselves — and for everyone who needs a bag that works as hard as they do.
