Meet the Maker:

Welcome to Counter Couture (not Counter Culture, don't worry if your brain went there, you're not the only one)— our feisty fiefdom of creativity. The “we” of Counter Couture is Kaelin (me) and my husband, Richard. We built Counter Couture out of a very basic desire to live a simple, fulfilling, and creative life with a wee bit of silly thrown in for fun. The universe tried to throw us together a number of times in a number of cities through a number of different people. Eventually, we realized that resistance was futile, and we agreed to meet over a cliché cup of coffee. (Feel free to insert your own sappy music and soft-focus camera angle right here.) Not only was a friendship forged, but so was a marriage, a house, some random animals, and this venture called Counter Couture. (Thanks for sticking with the story so far!) Every hand screen printed image starts as a pen and paper illustration drawn by us in our Denver studio and we strive to source materials made in the USA. -Kaelin

Meet the Maker:

A small, vibrant team of artisans in Omaha, Nebraska, ethically and resourcefully handmake ARTIFACT's bags, aprons, and other products. We rescued most of our production equipment sitting fallow in dilapidated midwestern buildings since the 1990’s, when commercial sewing shifted abroad. Most brands farm out production to factories that emphasize speed and turnaround over quality. You can see and feel the difference in resulting products that are not meant to last and do not carry the pride of their makers. If these factories-for-hire are located abroad or are not transparent in employment and production processes, how do you know how they treat workers and the environment? Over 90% of ARTIFACT's waste is composted or recycled with the help of our local partner, Hillside Solutions. We are striving to become a zero-waste company. ARTIFACT was founded in 2010 on the enduring principle of handmaking a product with the finest materials focused on quality, utility, and timeless design. Quality is an environmental issue. We build our products to last. In the rare situation when one of our products needs a repair, we gladly do it for a nominal fee, so ARTIFACT's products stay in use, add character with age, and never end up in a landfill

    Inspired by the American ‘Shamrock Neatway’ shopper our Atomic Tote is full of midcentury charm. It stands tall and strong on a flat base, helpful for carrying heavier items like laptops or a cheeky bottle of prosecco and has handles that lock together for extra comfort and security. Women who want an everyday bag that is practical as well as stylish will love our classic Atomic Tote.

     Meet the Maker:

    Living on the south coast of England, our co-founders, Kelly & Nick, were once searching for cute summery shoes that Kelly and their young kids could wear to the local pebbly beaches. They stumbled upon Méduse, the French brand of jelly shoes originally created in 1946 during a worldwide leather shortage.

    It was the beginning of a jelly love story… charmed by the Méduse brand and the rainbow of colours available, Kelly & Nick launched the Sun Jellies online store in 2012, bringing these iconic French jelly shoes to the UK shores and beyond. They discovered an ever-growing fanbase of jelly shoe lovers in every corner of the globe. But the story didn’t end there…
