Calico Creates: Fresh Upcycled Jewelry Made in USA

:: Recycled and Up-cycled Materials  :: Reasonable Prices  :: Family-owned  :: 

Calico Creates is a forward-thinking jewelry and artist team comprised of multi-disciplined designers… a bi-coastal entity that began as two sisters who had taken each their own route of design studies, and then joined forces – and recently enlisted the help of their creative mother to develop an ever-growing line of hand-made jewelry!  Check out their bracelets, necklaces and earrings, but get ready for throw pillows and more… all Made in USA!

Materials are sourced in Washington, and cleverly use rescued scraps of marine vinyl (Naugahyde)… interestingly, the bright colors come from the orthodontic chair scraps, while the muted samples come from dental chair materials.  All pieces have a little story that come with them so have fun in their online store while you are perusing their offerings.

The Washington branch (Heather, Erin and crew) are the core of the business, and also run an Architecture and Graphic Design studio.  This is where their designs are conceived and realized, and their clay pieces are painted and glazed by their mother Rae Bartlett in North Carolina.  The only pieces that are remotely outsourced are the eyelets, which come from Canada.

Currently their designs can be found on Etsy, and a few local markets in Washington.  If you’d like to see these in your local market, please raise your hand!

(No Naugas were sacrificed in the creation of this jewelry).
