About Craig Conover
Craig Conover is more than a familiar face from the Bravo hit Southern Charm — he’s an entrepreneur who turned his passion for home comfort and design into a thriving lifestyle brand.
After earning his law degree and passing the bar, Craig took an unexpected turn back to a creative outlet he first discovered in a 7th-grade home economics class: sewing. What began as a hobby evolved into Sewing Down South, a lifestyle brand that celebrates self-expression, comfort, and Southern style.
Craig’s down-to-earth personality and eye for design helped propel the brand into a national success. With flagship stores in Charleston and Nashville, Sewing Down South has become a go-to destination for design enthusiasts and fans alike, offering bold patterns, coastal-inspired décor, and signature pieces that embody Craig’s coastal, laid-back aesthetic.
From the sewing machine to designing pillow collections to connecting with fans, Craig is thoughtfully crafting a brand that reflects his authenticity and creativity—one stitch at a time.
