We are wanderers, dreamers, doers, and adventurers.
We love a long brunch with friends, bubbly on the beach, and impromptu dance parties with friends. We love staying up late and laughing until we cry. We believe in sparks, in spontaneous luxury; and enriching life through fresh experiences and designs.
SDS grew out of the amazing adventures our Creative Director Shelby Dillon and husband Joe experienced as expats living in Southeast Asia and South America. As newlyweds they learned to embrace the unexpected and peek down the road less traveled. Shelby translates the beauty of this crazy world, exotic and familiar, into items (and recipes, and travel hacks) that can be incorporated into everyday life. She draws on her experience as an artist to capture that sense of wonder and adventure and bring it to others. All of our designs are inspired by these travels, and are made to help everyone embrace their individual adventure each and every day.
Shelby is inspired by bold colors, simple beauty, and a strong desire to spread the joy of her experiences with others. Her funky and fun art prints offer a daily mindful connection to exotic places, from rustling palm fronds to parading elephants. The studio offers a variety, and ever changing mix of home goods, entertaining hacks and ideas, travel advice, and an upcoming line of the perfect fun travel bag (Shhh!).
