Spotlight on The Bakerloo Collection: The Creative Minds Behind the Mobile Showroom

Meet Ashley Misenheimer, a dynamic Down Inc. sales representative whose innovative approach has redefined the concept of a mobile showroom.

Ashley’s career has taken her from Chicago to London and now to the Carolinas. The Bakerloo Collection, named after the Bakerloo line on the London Underground, reflects Ashley’s deep connection to London—a city she fell in love with during her time there. Ashley’s unique setup, known as ‘The Bakerloo,’ is a vintage camper transformed into a charming, on-the-road showroom, showcasing an array of luxury interior design products.

Ashley’s commitment to her role is evident in her passion for travel and her joy in connecting with interior design clients. She thrives on the variety that each day brings, embracing the unique challenges and opportunities of her work. Her favorite products from Down Inc., like the Upside of Down sleeping pillows and the Serenity Fall Weight duvet insert, highlight her dedication to offering the best in luxury bedding.

The Bakerloo

After months of meticulous renovations, including a fresh paint job, new upholstery, and custom curtains, the Bakerloo Collection hit the road in February 2019, bringing luxury design to clients across the Carolinas.

In early 2021, Ashley upgraded to a 1972 Bell Travel Trailer, ensuring that the new Bakerloo 2 was as impeccable as its predecessor. This new camper has continued to make waves, allowing Ashley to bring an exceptional showroom experience directly to clients.

Rebecca Thwaites

As The Bakerloo Collection’s success grew and the need for more support emerged, Rebecca joined the team in June as the new Director of Client Engagement and Inside Sales, and has since become an incredible asset to the company.

Rebecca, a Charlotte, NC native and Appalachian State University graduate, began her career in wholesale apparel but found her true passion in interior textiles. She excels in helping clients select the perfect products and provides an exceptional experience with The Bakerloo Collection.

The Client Experience

What really makes The Bakerloo Collection team a favorite among their clients is how they just get them. Ashley and Rebecca know that each designer has their own vibe and vision, so they make it their mission to tune into that. It’s not just about showing off the latest trends; it’s about sparking ideas and finding those perfect pieces that make a project sing. Clients love that Ashley and Rebecca have got their back, always ready with fresh ideas and a selection that feels handpicked just for them. Plus, with The Bakerloo rolling up right to their door, it’s like having a private shopping experience that’s fun, easy, and totally on their terms!
