In the golden hues of a summer in Tahiti, a legacy was born—one that would traverse the sands of time and the shores of many lands. This legacy is Shores Company, a beach lifestyle brand inspired by the life and spirit of my grandfather, Michael Burke Shores, and myself, Tawnya.
Michael Shores, a man of adventure and kindness, whose love for the ocean and the world’s beauty was unmatched. He was more than just a name; he was my beacon of inspiration. Through his tales and travels, my grandfather instilled in me a passion for exploring the world and a deep appreciation for the simple, yet profound, joys of life.
Michael’s essence is woven into the very fabric of Shores Company. His memory breathes life into every product, imbuing them with the spirit of wanderlust and the serenity of the ocean. It’s his influence that drives the brand’s commitment to sustainability and craftsmanship, ensuring that each piece is not just a product but a story—a story of love, adventure, and the boundless beauty of nature.
In every small-batch item handcrafted on the North Shore of Oahu, Michael’s legacy shines through. It’s in the careful selection of sustainable materials, the dedication to quality, and the unique designs that reflect the landscapes he so dearly cherished. The aromas of our candles and the textures of our fabrics echo the memories of sandy beaches and tropical breezes that he loved.
Michael Shores was a man who believed in the power of nature to heal, inspire, and connect. His vision lives on in Shores Company, where we strive to bring a piece of that paradise to everyone. His spirit of exploration, respect for the environment, and unwavering love for family are the cornerstones of our brand.
To Michael Burke Shores, whose life and legacy continue to inspire us every day, we honor you. Through Shores Company, we keep your spirit alive, sharing your love for the ocean, the islands, and the simple pleasures of life with the world.
With endless gratitude,
Tawnya & The Shores Company Team
