Our Story
My name is Chelsea Buzer and I am the artist behind Vintage Cowrie. I love to work with natural elements to create one-of-a-kind, unique designs for all types of people.
I started Vintage Cowrie when I moved from Florida to California in 2017. It was my first time living in a new state, without my family and friends. To cope with all the change, I turned to nature and art. It was one of the greatest gifts that California gave me; Time to appreciate the beauty of my surroundings and time to figure out what I really enjoy. Vintage Cowrie grew out of my love for exploration, the ocean, traveling, South Africa, my fascination with the past and so much more! I use items I find in nature, in vintage shops across the US and throughout Africa. I even use a collections of African Feathers that go back to the 1990’s- (Thank you to my amazing husband for being a lover of the world and keeping a box full of items he collected while out on safari as a young boy. And thank you to my mother-in-law for not throwing it away).
Each piece created is unique and can not be duplicated. Think of it as wearable art. It is made with loving energy and looks great too! Purchase your little piece of the world through Vintage Cowrie.
