Since it opened in 2004 on Bedford Avenue in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, Catbird has been the go-to spot to buy beautiful, handcrafted personal jewelry. Years later it is still where all the cool girls in BK and beyond shop for special jewelry pieces as well as beauty and home goods.

Catbird’s in-house design team is heavily focused in art direction and photography and responsible for bringing merchandise to life through product and campaign shoots that affect all brand touch points -- social, e-commerce, packaging, print, events.
