Did you know @hellcats.usa are the biggest inspiration for our retail operation?
Their talk at @aigaraleigh’s Thrive 2020 definitely sparked up so much creativity to make stuff that we like, but ultimately they planted the seeds for so much more.
Smash cut to less than a month later, quarantine started and the co-working/shared space business that was Canopy hung in the balance. At the time, a co-working space seemed so obsolete. Lots of stuff started changing for our then business (like so many others) and most of it had the potential to end badly. During the turmoil and chaos that was owning a business in 2020, Miranda and I decided to completely start a whole new business in 2021. And Barbour Shop Creative Services was created.
Once again inspired by Brittany & Clark and the new (at the time) Hellcats storefront, Miranda and I converted our existing space into a full retail experience. What was previously used for design meetings and hangs, is now filled with fun stuff that’s either made by us or our friends. And it’s been awesome so far!!
With all of that being said, we’re super pumped to say that we now have a Hellcats section in-store that’s filled with some of our favorite HC merch. NOW AVAILABLE!
Also, from now until Valentine’s Day, every in-store purchase gets a free Hellcats ink pen or postcard.
