"There are small family-owned businesses that I have been working with since the first day Peter-Blair opened, and I value those connections. I have found the relationships to be mutually beneficial."

Kate Ackerly is the CEO and Executive Designer of Peter-Blair Accessories and her brother, Dick, owns the Peter-Blair storefront. She is the creative mind behind the designs and also works with clients on their custom projects. She loves her Peter-Blair extended family including the vendors and workrooms across the country. Home for her will always be Richmond, and enjoys working for Peter Blair because of the "timeless and classic" look of the product.

Dick Fowlkes is the Founder and Business Consultant of Peter-Blair Accessories and works primarily at the Peter-Blair storefront. As needed, he consults with Peter-Blair Accessories on fashion trends, quality, and craftsmanship. He consults on the changes in men’s fashion trends. Dick has been “in sales” since he was 5 years old selling anything and everything in front of his house. His passion for clothing started in his early 20’s when he started his first job on Main Street. While he has “fine tuned” his fashion sense over the years, he has always had an eye for color, fine fabrics, and pulling together outfits that not only look great, but make his customers feel great. He calls his sense of style, “conservative with a twist.”
