The Dixie Market
Our Story
The Dixie Market is a family-owned Savannah brand built around a love for place, tradition, and the stories we carry home with us. For us, Savannah has never simply been a destination. It is home. Its architecture, history, hospitality, eccentricities, and unmistakable sense of place have shaped our family and, in turn, everything we create. Our collections are designed to capture that feeling through pieces that are thoughtful, distinctive, and unmistakably Savannah. This is more than a souvenir. It is a piece of Savannah.
History
A Family Story
The Dixie Market was built through generations of family, hard work, and a shared belief that the things people take home from Savannah should feel as special as the city itself. What began as a family business has grown into a brand inspired by the Savannah we know personally: historic streets and grand old houses, afternoons along the river, traditions passed from one generation to the next, and the unmistakable charm that makes this city impossible to forget. Today, we continue to build upon that foundation, combining years of experience with a new creative vision for what Savannah gifting can become. We are proud of where we come from, proud of the family behind the business, and even prouder that everything we create begins right here at home.
Amanda Blair Frazier
Creative Director & The Next Chapter
For Amanda, The Dixie Market is deeply personal.
Raised within the family business, she grew up surrounded by Savannah, its visitors, its shops, and the products created to commemorate it. Today, she brings a new generation of creative direction to the company, designing collections that feel rooted in tradition while giving the Savannah souvenir a more considered and elevated point of view.
Her approach is simple: create pieces people would choose because they are beautiful first, and because they remind them of Savannah forever after.
Inspired by the city’s history, architecture, color, hospitality, and Southern character, Amanda is helping shape the next chapter of The Dixie Market while protecting the family foundation on which it was built.

“I want everything we create to feel worthy of Savannah. Beautiful enough to live in your home, meaningful enough to bring back a memory, and timeless enough to keep.”
Ben Padgett
The Foundation
Long before The Dixie Market became Amanda’s creative world, it was part of her father’s.
His years in the business built the foundation she works from today: an understanding of Savannah, its retailers, its visitors, and the importance of doing business through relationships that last.
He represents the part of The Dixie Market that cannot be manufactured or replicated: experience, instinct, history, and a genuine connection to the community the company serves.
While Amanda brings a new creative perspective to the brand, her father remains a steady link to everything that came before it.
Two generations. Different perspectives. One shared commitment to Savannah.
It is this combination of heritage and evolution that defines The Dixie Market today.
Our Savannah
The Inspiration
We believe the best souvenirs do more than say where you have been.
They remind you how a place felt.
The sound of River Street.
The shade beneath the live oaks.
The ironwork and old brick.
The squares you wandered through without checking the time.
The pink light falling across a historic house at the end of the day.
Savannah has a way of staying with you.
Our job is simply to give you something beautiful to remember it by.
Designed Here.
Inspired Here.
We create exclusively with Savannah in mind.
Every collection begins with the city: its landmarks, its history, its neighborhoods, its icons, its stories, and the details those of us who call it home know by heart.
Rather than chasing trends, we are interested in creating a recognizable Savannah aesthetic that feels enduring, collected, and distinctly our own.
Savannah is not simply where our business is located.
Savannah is the brand.
