Est. 1948

Growing up on Nantucket year-round, Caitlin developed an appreciation for the tradition and history of the island. Her father, Tim Parsons, has been making Nantucket Lightship Baskets and teaching classes for over 20 years. 

From a young age, she saw him perfecting the craft of weaving, woodworking, carving ivory and scrimshaw. His talent always inspired me, but not until moving back to the island in 2013 did Caitlin discover the new trend of Nantucket Basket Bracelets. She's known how to weave for years so creating bracelets came naturally to me. From there, she earned to hand-carve the ivory end caps and scrimshaw. 

Once Caitlin began experimenting with designs, she was hooked. She loves how the bracelets represent the Nantucket Basket tradition using the same materials and techniques while being innovative and modern. Caitlin is very proud to continue the Nantucket Basket-making tradition with her Nantucket Bracelets and hope you love them too!
