Here are some awesome retail brands owned by women! Debuting in 2017, Swig is a company that started at a grass-roots level to add a little southern hospitality that developed into fashion-forward drinkware line that's now added coolers, bags & more. CEO, Tracee Mathes, noticed there was a lack of premium insulated drinkware in a variety of designs, colors, shapes, and sizes that women love – thus, Swig Life was born!
