WE ARE PACIFIC NORTHWEST LOCAL. Inspired by salty air and mountain views, our products are designed and crafted in the beautifully quaint upper left corner of the United States. HOW WE STARTED. After 20+ years of designing brand name apparel for local PNW companies, we left corporate America to raise our daughter and start Shakes + Speares. We love using our creativity and hands to fashion products that inspire, amuse, and bring joy to people's lives. The art of gift giving has been lost in this chaotic technology driven world of today. We are looking to bring it back one hand-crafted gift at a time.
