Made by hand, one shell at a time

A Bit About Me

I'm Mallory, the hands behind Inlet Shells. I grew up on the coast collecting shells and found a passion for it during Covid, which turned into an actual obsession.

When I'm not sorting through a new haul of shells, I'm usually looking for vintage bottles to build pieces around, or out at the farm working and hiking. Every piece I make is one-of-a-kind, and I hope each one brings a bit of coastal whimsy into your home.

Every shell in this collection has a story. I was fortunate enough to purchase them from a Topsail Island resident who spent her retirement years combing the beaches and gathering these one by one. In her honor, 5% of all Inlet Shells proceeds are donated to The Kiwanis Club of Topsail Island Area.
