What inspired you to start your business?

Arthlin was born from a passion for accessories design and e-commerce in 2011. What began as a humble stay-at-home mom's small business had a sudden growth spurt when the designs caught the attention of Kendall Jenner, Ipsy, and Martha Stewart. It allowed us to begin hiring assistants locally and to expand the product offering.

In 2017, Arthlin was awarded as a Maine State champion in the SCORE American Small Business Championship and later recognized as a Woman Owned Small Business of the Year in Maine based on the business' vision, innovation, and achievement in the community.

More recently, in an effort to have a positive impact on the environment, we introduced earrings made of re-purposed leather. We hand-pick new, gorgeous hides from the overstock of notorious brands. It reduces unnecessary waste, and the beauty of these high-end materials is preserved through fashionable, unique jewelry. We look forward to expanding this line of products and to begin offering custom engraving services in 2018. Stay tuned!
