History
Santangelo & Sandridge is a high fashion store focused
on interesting European and American designers.
It is a partnership between Georgia Santangelo Derrico and
Linda Sandridge. Georgia and Linda worked together for nearly 18 years at Southern
Financial Bank where Georgia was Chairman & CEO and Linda was the Senior Commercial
Lender. Georgia and her husband, Rod, have had a farm in the Plains, near Middleburg, for
nearly 20 years. Linda has lived and worked around Middleburg and Warrenton for most of
her life. The two have long shared a passionate interest in fashion.
Georgia's family origins are in Italy. She and her husband
have been vacationing in Italy every year for the past ten years. Two years ago they
bought a home in Tropea, Calabria in the boot of Italy. Both Georgia and her husband have
been studying Italian and have become reasonably fluent. Their Italian connections will
ensure that Santangelo & Sandridge will not be just another bland soulless department
store.
