Febb’s Boutique

In August of 1920, 35 states had ratified the 19th Amendment. With the deeply divided Tennessee legislature preparing to vote on the issue, Febb Burn wrote to her son, Tennessee State Rep. Harry T. Burn, asking him to “Hurrah and vote for suffrage” and make women's suffrage national law. That strong woman shaped the course of American history, as well as that of our company. The Burn family co-founded Crescent Sock Co. in 1902 and today Febb's great-granddaughters are proud to bring you Febb's Boutique to celebrate the passage of the 19th Amendment.

Through our partnership with AWAKE, Febb's Boutique directly promotes advocacy and representation for at-risk women and children right here in Tennessee.

Crescent Sock Company is the oldest continually operated sock mill in the United States, family owned and operated for over 100 years! Today, Crescent continues to operate under the leadership of the Burn Family (Febb's great granddaughters) and we are proud to bring you Febb's Boutique to celebrate the power of a woman's words to change history!
