Kelly Wheat has always possessed a keen eye for well-crafted design. Raised in Hidden Hills, California, Kelly was exposed from a young age to fashion and beautiful décor. She developed her unique sense of style by pulling inspiration not only from the natural beauty of her Southern California backyard, but also from fashion magazines, high end boutiques, and vintage antique shops alike. Her unique ability to identify early trends serve her both creatively and professionally. She nurtured this talent by becoming the “go to” commercial agent for top models, actors and actresses in Los Angeles with clients including Eva Mendez, Chris Evans, Josie Maran, Paris & Nicki Hilton, Chris Pratt, Sara Foster, China Chow, and Marisa Miller. For 13 years, Kelly guided and promoted top talent and concurrently refined her own unique artistry and design.
She continued to cultivate her aesthetic by creating her own home décor and jewelry pieces with that same trained eye for early cycle trends. Her eye-catching designs met a need not found elsewhere in the market and soon garnered a following among her family and friends who began requesting custom items for themselves. In 2013, she was moved to bring her unique perspective to a larger audience, and Mapleton Drive was born.
Mapleton Drive finds inspiration from all around the globe, sourcing materials from far away corners of the earth such as Madagascar, Brazil, India and the Rocky Mountains. Kelly lets the natural shape and texture of the stones she selects drive the design of her pieces. The collection’s gilded geodes and mesmerizing agate slices combine with sleek, modern materials to create a lasting impact. Each piece is assembled by hand in Cherry Hills Village, Colorado, and because every natural stone is unique, each piece is truly a one-of-a-kind keepsake that catches the eye and sparks conversation. Kelly’s choice of bold textures paired with rich palettes and sleek lines creates a striking balance in each piece that is truly unmatched.
Kelly began her collection with an assortment of lacquer boxes adorned with agate stones. The collection quickly expanded to meet both customer demand and her evolving artistic vision to include home accents such as coasters, bottle stoppers, napkin rings, candles, vases and a line of jewelry. She prides herself on staying ahead of the trend curve while producing pieces that are elegant yet affordable, current and yet still timeless. The Mapleton Drive aesthetic is clean and modern with an enhanced quality of natural beauty.
Mapleton Drive is deeply committed to offering beautiful, high-quality products at a price that is accessible to all women while providing exceptional customer service. The brand’s wares can be found online at retailers such as One Kings Lane and Gilt and can be found at boutiques nationwide.
