A COLLECTION INSPIRED BY HOPE, CREATIVITY AND THE CHILDREN OF EAST TENNESSEE
On International Children’s Day, Patricia Nash Designs is proud to introduce a collection unlike any other in the brand’s history - a heartfelt collaboration with Dolly Parton Children’s Hospital that celebrates the power of art, community, and giving back.
Created with a mission far greater than fashion, this special-edition handbag collection was designed to support the life-changing work taking place every day at Dolly Parton Children’s Hospital. With 100% of proceeds benefiting the hospital, every purchase helps provide exceptional care, comfort, and innovation for the more than 130,000 children and families served annually.
A COLLECTION WITH A PURPOSE
The collection features five thoughtfully designed handbags, each inspired by artwork created by local Tennessee artists. Through vibrant colors, meaningful details, and uplifting imagery, the designs reflect themes of joy, resilience, healing, and hope - qualities that are woven into the experiences of the children and families who walk through the hospital’s doors each day.
For Patricia Nash, the collaboration is deeply personal.
“100% of the proceeds from this collection go directly to Dolly Parton Children's Hospital and to the children and families cared for every day, right here in our hometown of Knoxville,” says Patricia Nash, founder of Patricia Nash Designs. “The designs on each bag were inspired by the work of local Tennessee artists, and every detail reflects what this hospital means to all of us. It's one of the most meaningful collections I've ever put my name to.”
CELEBRATING CREATIVITY AS A SOURCE OF HEALING
For years, Patricia Nash has believed that every design tells a story. This collection carries some of the most meaningful stories yet - stories of courage, compassion, and community.
The inspiration behind the collection stems from the belief that creativity can bring comfort, spark joy, and provide hope during difficult moments. By incorporating artwork inspired by local Tennessee talent, the collection honors both the artistic spirit of the region and the remarkable strength of the children receiving care at Dolly Parton Children’s Hospital.
SUPPORTING THE FUTURE OF PEDIATRIC CARE
Formerly known as East Tennessee Children’s Hospital, Dolly Parton Children’s Hospital is a nationally recognized pediatric healthcare system dedicated to providing comprehensive care for children throughout East Tennessee and beyond. As a state-certified Comprehensive Regional Pediatric Center, the hospital remains committed to its vision of taking care of our future, one child at a time.
Through this partnership, Patricia Nash Designs is proud to help further that mission while inviting customers to make an impact through their purchase.
