About this episode

Chaya Krinsky shares her journey of building TOV Furniture into a cult brand while navigating challenges as a woman in a male-dominated industry.

She started with $2,500 and three kids at home - and built one of the most recognizable women's furniture brands in the country. This week I'm sitting down with Chaya Krinsky, Co-Founder, Creative Director, and Lead Designer of TOV Furniture. Before any of this, Chaya was a preschool teacher for ten years. Then she stepped into her husband's furniture startup during a recession - and helped turn it into a cult brand that women across the country are genuinely obsessed with. We talk about the pivot that changed everything, what it actually takes to build a business with your spouse, navigating a male-dominated industry as a woman who refuses to be underestimated, and what it means to create something people don't just buy - they feel. This one is for every woman who has a big idea and cant see the path through. This Episode is sponsored by Recollection Brand.Clothing you will wear. and rewear.
