Girrlscout as a brand was started in October 2015 by myself (Michelle. hey, we met a second ago) and my husband, Spencer in my tiny little apartment in southern California. It all started with our Face Shit™ makeup bag which I hand painted myself and sold for fun... but within a few short months it sort of took off and slowly evolved into t-shirts, hoodies and accessories for a few years. I really wanted to create fun items with a traditional tattoo style and an encouraging message. We've worked with some amazing graphic artists and tattoo artists along the way.

I'd like to think of Girrlscout as an extension of our life; it has grown with me, with us, every single step of the way. When we got our first dog, we made some dog related products. When we moved to Washington State in 2018, we made some PNW inspired products. When we got married in 2020, we made some wedding inspired products. It's just something we've always enjoyed doing - moving swiftly with the flow of life, creating with whatever we feel inspired by in that moment, good or bad.

We went from a tiny apartment, to boxes filling our guest room, to our garage, to our whole basement to now a full blown 5,000 sq ft warehouse in Tacoma, WA with 3 amazing employees. It did not happen overnight and I think that's extremely important to note. It happened over the last 10 years with hard work, late nights, endless post office runs, ALL OF YOU GUYS, listening to ourselves, never giving up but always making sure we're having fun along the way.

In August 2022, we launched Tomboy Butterfly™. A complete from-scratch clothing brand that I've been personally working on since 2021. Building this collection of inclusive androgynous clothing has been a dream of mine since I was very little. I did not go to college for it but I have always been a creative person that enjoyed making things that I wish existed. I am just a mid-size human who very strongly identifies with alternative androgynous comfy style. Sometimes I wanna feel feminine and sometimes I wanna feel more masculine. Shopping online in my late 20's/early 30's I was constantly met with items that either didn't fit (one size fits small), were cheaply made or I could never ever afford them. Or all three. I wanted to create a brand that was not only affordable, but well made (not fast fashion!), well thought of and LISTENED to the needs and wants of all kinds of people. Although we are still very much new (and small) in this custom clothing department, we are doing our absolute best to bring you top tier shit and provide quality staple items to your wardrobe. Being now 35 years old, every day staple pieces that LAST are a must have and I can't wait to continue to bring that at an affordable price and in an inclusive size range.

We do monthly drops of new items and will restock sold out items as they come in so make sure you follow me on social media or sign up for our e-mail list for a heads up!

Thank you for being here. Thank you for supporting, sharing, and wearing. It means more than you will ever know. We wouldn't be here doing this if it wasn't for all of you - thank you!
