Welcome to ChicShells
Bringing the joy of handmade coastal art to your home—one New England oyster shell at a time.
About Us
We’re neighbors turned shell-crafting besties who started ChicShells as a fun way to unwind and get creative. What began as a hobby quickly grew into something more—a way to connect with our community and share the simple joy (and calming magic) of making something beautiful with your hands.
ChicShells is all about sustainable coastal art, handcrafted one shell at a time using locally sourced New England oyster shells. From unique home décor to DIY paint kits and paint nights for any occasion, we’re here to help you slow down, get creative, and bring a little coastal charm into your life.
We’re always dreaming up new ways to bring the coastal lifestyle into your everyday. In addition to our handcrafted oyster shell decor, we’re working on expanding our collection to include coastal-inspired apparel like baseball caps, t-shirts, and other wearable pieces that pair perfectly with our signature shells.
Whether you're dressing up your home or your weekend wardrobe, our goal is to help you carry a bit of that seaside charm wherever you go.
We can’t wait to create with you.
