South and English co-founders Palmer Smith and David Ebbetts have many eclectic loves. Shopping and travel are two oft-combined passions. The business of design and personal adventures take them all over the country (and world). Palmer and David always stop to shop: antique stores, estate sales, auctions, brocante and even an occasional casbah. Palmer, especially, is gifted with "the eye." That is, the intuitive ability to discern jewels from junk. Quite often, a vintage find is the point of inspiration for a new S+E design. It's all in a day's work.

While the boys never suffer buyers' remorse, at a certain point something's gotta give. Palmer and David's collection of fab finds can now support a store, an online shop called MARKETPLACE.

Can you teach an old dog new tricks? We think not. Palmer and David love the thrill of the hunt. And, they are especially able fashion marksmen. Rinse and repeat, the shop-buy cycle will continue. With an exciting new wrinkle: You. Shop S+E Marketplace now.
