NEW! Oyster + Tide Handbag Capsule

The Oyster & Tide Handbag Capsule draws from the rhythm of the coast —where raw meets refined and no two details are ever exactly the same. With soft structure, coastal tones, and subtle texture, each handbag feels like something found, not made.

Limited pieces, intentionally created.

Welcome. So glad you're here!

I'm Jennifer Matthews, founder of Island Oyster.

Each piece I create starts with shells I collect along the Charleston coast. I love combining my love of shells, sea glass and the perfectly imperfect mix of 'rugged meets refined '.

My hope is that you find the unique blend of nature and elegance that embodies life on the inter-coastal and this charming town represented in these small-batch, curated collections.

We love happy customers!

  • We visit Charleston every year, and always love to return with local gifts. The oyster shell bracelet reminds me of my favorite beach.
