ABOUT ME

I’m Mallory, the owner of SHELTER and creator behind Mallory Shelter Jewelry. I make handmade, easy-to-wear pieces that are versatile and timeless, and are designed to stand alone or worn delicately layered with a mix of jewelry. I opened my store in 2018 to be able to offer a selection of my own work, along with pieces from over 30 jewelry designers across the country.

ABOUT SHELTER

Our shop is home to work from designers across the country and around the world. We feature primarily female designers, in hopes that by supporting female-owned brands, we can empower a generation of women business owners, both socially and financially. We love introducing our customers to up-and-coming and under-the-radar lines. When you purchase something from our store, you are directly supporting independent artists and brands whose designs we love and admire. 

 

CURRENT CLOSURE

In light of the COVID-19 outbreak, DC has mandated that all non-essential businesses be closed to the public. As a shop that relies primarily on foot traffic to generate sales, this is incredibly scary. In addition, I now employ a team of 12, two of whom are full-time employees and rely on this salary for their living. While we have been able to keep a fraction of our sales up online, overhead costs like rent, payroll, utilities, inventory and more are daunting, especially with no forseeable end in sight. 

WAYS TO HELP

The biggest way you can help right now is to contribute to this campaign (which will go directly to payroll for my employees as well continued fixed costs to operate) or make a gift card/product purchase from our website. If you're able able to do this, other ways to help are:

  • Help get the word out by sharing this campaign with your friends and family
  • Leave a positive review for our business on Google, Facebook, or Yelp
  • Shop small + local. It's imperative to keep supporting small businesses during this time so that they can remain open and thrive once this all passes!  

Thanks so much for your consideration and support.
