About Anna Maxin
Anna Maxin made Austin her home after graduating from Texas State University. With a
successful career in marketing, she decided to take on the challenge of creating
fashionable, unique jewelry for football season - her husband is a dedicated football fan
and graduate of The University of Texas at Austin and they are both members of
Shotgun 30. In her spare time she began learning the craft of jewelry making and
designing accessories for the 2007 football season. What started as orange quickly
turned to everyday wear as the palate of colors extended to meet the custom needs of
her customers.
For Anna, jewelry design was only the beginning. The inspiration for all things that
sparkle brought about hand set crystal embellished flip flops, which in turn led to the
hand sewn shoe bags her customers receive with every purchase. Finally, there was the
creation of Biscuit & Gravy dog collars in the Summer of 2008. The brand, named for
Maxin's two boxers, takes style to the necks of our four-legged companions.
Anna Maxin Signature Style
"My jewelry and accessories are stylish and unique. All my jewelry is feminine and
wearable – sometimes you even forget you’re wearing it because it’s light and
comfortable, that is until you get a complement. I love how the simple addition of a piece
of jewelry can take a t-shirt and jeans from okay to oh yeah. And it might sound funny to
non-dog lovers, but since a collar is the only accessory my dogs wear I expect it to be as
fabulous as they are."
Her Inspiration
"Inspiration is everywhere if you listen and act upon it. I know that sounds all too cliché
but for years I’ve found myself saying “it can’t be hard to make that”, “why isn’t someone
making ___” or “I could learn to make that”. And I finally just took the leap and did it. It
took yet another football season going by of looking like everyone else at Texas® games
to push me over the edge."
Her Aspiration
“My customers want “fabulous” products and they don’t want to settle for the average,
everyday alternative. My goal is to create products that elicit individual style and keep
you from looking like the rest of the crowd or pack."
