Our History
After months of learning to build a website on my own, contacting vendors, setting up business/Tax ID numbers, and taking pictures of everything, Of Aspen was ready to launch to the public at OfAspen.com on Friday, July 17th, 2019, with 45 products.
Eight months later, when Covid hit, I was sent home from my college dorm room and took over my family's attic for Of Aspen. Inventory was packed under our small dormered ceiling as I would sit on the floor, packing each order with love and care. Truly the classic small business startup story.
After 15 months of renovations from the ground up, we were ready for the public. We added new floors and a new ceiling, picked furnishings from local antiques dealer Warehouse3 and completely hand-built what was needed. I would only settle once the store felt as curated as our collection.
Let me tell you, this project was a labor of love, both for our artists & mission and the history of our building. I know every detail was worth it; we feel like home. Now we get to see Little Leaves blown away by the store being their stationery oasis. You can open drawers, test every pen, flip through journals and see our famous Kraken in real life!
