More than a shop
Stories are what connects us. We have built a community of friends who personally know most of our designers and local artists — and many who come in simply to share their own.Pam Kendall · Founder

The people behind the pieces
Our raison d'être is to gather a community of makers and friends and to celebrate the stories behind their work. Every garment and object in the shop carries a history, a process, and a human connection worth discovering.

Social impact
How we give back
Being part of this neighborhood means showing up for it. Rather than spread ourselves thin, we back one organization at a time and stay with it. Right now that is Bundled Blessings, here in Evanston.
Our partner
Bundled Blessings Diaper Bank
A diaper bank for Evanston — because diapers are as essential to a child's health as food and shelter.
