LIKE ALL THINGS WE LOVE, THREE BIRD NEST WAS BORN FROM A WHIM, NURTURED BY PASSION, AND GREW FROM THE UNEXPECTED, UNPREDICTABLE TWISTS THAT LIFE HAS GIFTED US ALONG THE WAY. In November 2011, we started out as a one-woman shop when @aliciashaffer discovered a love for making bohemian-inspired headbands and accessories. At the time, Alicia was running her own women’s clothing shop, and seeing Three Bird Nest’s store bloom with orders for her handmade wears was both exhilarating and terrifying—there were moments she wasn’t sure if her hands could possibly keep up! But the amazing thing about sharing your creations with others is you connect with fellow kindred spirits. You see the things that bring you warmth and smiles reflected in the glow of others who are thrilled to have found a shop that gets them. Within a year, we’d begun offering a full collection of accessories. Our staff expanded to a cozy twelve (hence the “we”) and our shop evolved to include leather jewelry, clothing, purses and boho gems designed here in our California studio, in addition to treasured finds from all over the world that we simply can’t keep to ourselves. And because our greatest inspiration is listening to what you love, we continue growing. Our clothing collections are curated from all over the world, designed to complement our accessories. Think warm knits, pretty laces, things that sparkle, and a touch of leather. Think patterns and textures you’d expect would clash but instead mesh perfectly. Our style is a bit like a river carving its way through the earth; even when we touch upon a trend, we carry it somewhere new. We create for the woman that’ll make our styles her own. For the woman who wants to make a statement without saying a word. For all the layers of you.
