The Bees Behind the Buzz
TBK - The Bees Knees is the brainchild of Aimee Buckert, a Chicago native who moved to Texas in 2019. With a passion for clothes, gift giving, and shopping in general, Aimee quickly fell in love with Highland Village’s Painted Tree. After spending so much time there, Aimee was inspired to start her own boutique. In early 2020, she and a friend launched a home decor and gift boutique, E.Bee Ho use. Despite opening just before the pandemic hit, the boutique thrived post-Covid, leading Aimee to expand into the world of fashion in March of 2021 - and TBK - The Bees Knees was born.
Aimee’s love of fashion and gifting came about naturally from her mother, Betsy Karlson. Betsy joined Aimee as a partner in early 2023, bringing her own expertise and shared passion for helping women feel their best. Together, Aimee and Betsy are committed to curating stylish, affordable clothing and unique gifts, making every shopping experience a personal one.
