Another Midwest Trunk Show Tour in the books with National Sand Artist, Lauren B.

Dune Jewelry has hosted hundreds of Trunk Shows over the years at our fabulous Retailers in Florida, New York, Cape Cod, and beyond. This past July, our National Sand Artist, Lauren, traveled out to the Midwest to meet our Premium Retailers in Michigan, Ohio, and Iowa. Driving out in the Dune Buggy from Boston, Lauren covered over 2,000 miles to meet you and hear your stories!

Our retailers are always stocked with the best-selling Dune Designs in their local sands, so I like to bring with me what’s new and exciting. From styles that aren’t up on the website yet, to exotic sands and elements, this is our opportunity to hear from YOU what you love and want to see more of.

Two Fish in Leland, Michigan

The Trunk Show at Two Fish in Leland, Michigan was one of the highlights of the tour. Julie and Holly are two women I met last year on the Trunk Show Tour and they are definitely important members of the Dune Family. They showed up with their sand they collected and were wearing all their Dune they’ve collected over the years. Their favorite designs? The Boho Stack and the retailer exclusive Triple Drop Necklace.

Next stop The BookWorm in Bellevue, Iowa

Bellevue, Iowa was the last stop on the tour. After crossing the Mississippi it’s truly amazing to see how far the Dune Love reaches. Shelia, the owner, has her collection of Dune made with Mississippi ‘mud’, along with beautiful shells from the Bellevue Button Factory. What amazed me most about this show, was how many people brought me dried flower petals from weddings and memorial services to be used in their pieces. The other element in the discussion, Corn. Iowa is known for its lush cornfields and for those that have grown up here, it’s just as important and tangible as beach sand.

Dune Jewelry has learned through these Trunk Shows, because of you, that what we can inlay into our jewelry is limitless. Your memories are what make you, and the pieces we custom make for you, unique. If you ever have a question on what we can do with your elements, come to the show and ask! We love meeting you first hand and hearing the stories behind your jewelry.
