Wow, time flies when you’re having fun! We’re beyond excited to celebrate five incredible years of Allie+Bess with all of you. From those early days of selling to family and friends to now shipping our colorful creations across the globe, we are so incredibly grateful for every moment and every one of you who’s been a part of this journey. What better way to mark this amazing milestone than by reflecting on how it all began?
How It All Started
Back in 2010, Bess and Allie were desk neighbors in the medical field—Bess as a speech pathologist and Allie as an occupational therapist. They quickly became best friends, and through all the highs and lows of life (including the joy of becoming moms!), they realized their creative sides were itching for more.
Fast-forward to 2020: A+B all started with a passion for fashion, a $50 bill, and some beads. Bess and Allie began making bracelets at Bess’s house. Their vinyl designs quickly became their specialty, and they shared their creations on Instagram just for fun.
On Allie’s birthday that year, they decided to go all in. That $50 investment turned out to be the best money they’ve ever spent, leading to a full-fledged jewelry brand offering necklaces, charms, rings, earrings, and so much more!
Growing and Thriving
From our early Instagram DM sales to launching our own app and blog, the journey has been incredible. We’ve ventured into the influencer world and met some truly amazing people who’ve become lifelong friends. Each step has been a thrill, and we’re so thankful for the community we’ve built with all of you.
Celebrating Our Community
One of the greatest joys of Allie+Bess is our amazing community. You are the customers every business dreams about. Whether you visit us for a local pickup or join us for a live event, we love connecting with each and every one of you. Your support means the world to us, and we can’t thank you enough for being a part of this journey.
Let’s Celebrate Together!
To mark five years of colorful beads, fun, and friendship, we’re giving you 30% off sitewide with the code FIVE! It’s our way of saying thank you and inviting you to join in the celebration.
Here’s to five years of living out our dream, making beautiful jewelry, and sharing it with you. We couldn’t have done it without you—thank you for being a part of our story!

With love,
Allie & Bess
