Where Shells and art come together

Handmade Coastal Decor

Inlet Shells was created out of a deep gratitude for the ocean.

Each piece captures a small piece of the natural world's beauty, and I hope it brings a bit of that into your home.

Various seashells displayed on baskets, tables, and a wooden cabinet, including large conch shells, scallop shells, and other marine shells.

Made thoughtfully, by hand, from the coast

Taking organic and reused materials to create artwork for homes.

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.

 

Based in North Carolina

Sourced and handmade entirely within the coastal and Triangle regions of NC; every piece is made close to where it started.

Most of our shells were collected off the coast of NC. We do have a select few from places such as Florida and the Philippines.
