WashAshore Store

"Leashes, and more, crafted from what washes ashore."  

In January 2016 WashAshore Store was "born" from Eliot's dedication to helping keep our oceans and beaches clean, and generating awareness about marine debris by finding ways to repurpose it.

In 2022 most WashAshore Store products are now crafted from retired lines, donated by lobstermen and ocean farmers.

Woman owned and operated by founder, and sole creator, Eliot, since January 2016.

Leashes, and more, Handcrafted from What Washes Ashore (and now also from retired lines donated for up cycling!)

Much more than just leashes

Our website is just the tip of the iceberg when if comes to the amount of line and products available.  Since many of the products made are either one of a kind, or fewer than a dozen made, very little of what is available, or what can be made, is seen listed here on the website or on Etsy.  If you are looking for a specific color, length, or type of product you do not see listed online please feel free to message me to see if there is something either pre-made, or available to be made, that will fit what you are looking for.  For example, rope door mats are only made sporadically and each is one of a kind and only posted on Instagram.  There are also many float rope colors for custom float rope toys, and line from a variety of locations (primarily in New England) available for custom orders.

The Start of WashAshore Store

My dog Ember (@Ember_the_Berner on Instagram) is seen here holding part of the first tangle of rope we found washed ashore in Winthrop, Massachusetts on January 26, 2016.  This pile was washed ashore by Blizzard Jonas and is what inspired the creation of the WashAshore Store.

Cat Island, Bahamas

Each year I head to Cat Island in the Bahamas to do a week long beach cleanup. The amount of debris washed ashore on these beautiful beaches is astronomical.
