Hi my name is Kylie, Thank you for stopping by :)

Here is my back story

This business was born out of my passion to go beyond my 9 - 5; as a software developer crunching code and helping design software for hospital systems I felt like I had lost the connection to my work and needed to pursue my creative side. When I had my daughterLunaI wanted to ‘curate’ a space for her that she could grow into and felt restricted by the offering made available. It was either cheap or flimsy, Rattan or PrimaryColours.

One day I hung up on a phone call from a very long meeting at work, walked downstairs and said “I’m starting a business”. With his support and my stubbornness and will to never give up Cowrie and Conch was born.

Here at Cowrie and Conch I wanted to offer something that could stand the test of time, still look beautiful but more importantly could be introduced into your homes aesthetic without it being a clash of personalities.

Our Furniture comes from all over the world. We source the truly unique and hard to come by items.

Our Aim is to add ‘spunk’ and ‘creativity’ to your children’s spaces and really push the boundaries of children’s furniture. All Children have their own sense of style and personality which is why we love seeing our designs in your home; so please tag us in your Instagram photos using #cowrieandconchand please do contact me if you have any questions.
