For Gabrielle Smith, Zackie Hart started with a dream she simply couldn't ignore. Married and a mom to two toddler boys, Gabrielle has always been drawn to style and the confidence that fashion can bring. She launched Zackie Hart as a way to help other women feel that same sense of confidence in what they wear.
The date she chose to open happened to be the same day the world shut down because of COVID. While the timing wasn't exactly ideal, she kept moving forward and built something special from the ground up.
For the first four years, Gabrielle traveled throughout Coweta County hosting pop-up shops and connecting with customers face to face. Time and time again, Senoia stood out. There was something about the people, the sense of community, and the support for small businesses that made it feel like home. When a storefront on Barnes Street became available, she knew it was time to put down roots.
The name Zackie Hart carries a special meaning. Zackie was Gabrielle's great-grandfather, and Hart was her great-grandmother's maiden name. Both were known for their kindness, generosity, and the way they made people feel welcome. Those are the same values Gabrielle hopes every customer experiences when they walk through the doors. It also doesn't hurt that it's a pretty cool name.
Today, Zackie Hart brings sought-after brands typically found at larger retailers like Revolve, Anthropologie, and Nordstrom to downtown Senoia. Customers can shop exclusive brands, experience the quality firsthand, and enjoy a welcoming atmosphere while they browse.
Gabrielle carefully selects every piece with quality, fit, and longevity in mind. She believes clothing should make you feel confident and last far beyond a single season. Every brand and item in the store is chosen intentionally because she wants her customers to invest in pieces they will love wearing for years to come.
More than just a boutique, Zackie Hart has become a place where women can gather, shop, and enjoy an experience. Her massive events feature new arrivals, delicious drinks, fun giveaways, pop-ups, and even Santa during the holidays. With new arrivals arriving every week, there's always something fresh to discover.
Whether you're a longtime local or just visiting downtown Senoia, stop by, say hello, and see what Zackie Hart is all about. Gabrielle has created more than a store. She's built a place where style, quality, and community come together.
