Our Story
Stouts Creek Designs was born from our love of the bay, beach, and everything nautical. Named after our home on a peaceful lagoon off Stouts Creek in Forked River, NJ, our brand reflects the lifestyle we cherish — boating, fishing, clamming, crabbing, kayaking, and soaking up every bit of coastal life.
For years, our family spent summers commuting from Pennsylvania to a marina in Brick, NJ, where we’d spend our days on the water with our three children. My husband and I had always dreamed of owning a home by the water, and in 2020, that dream finally came true. We found our little slice of paradise on the lagoon, and it’s been everything we imagined — a welcoming community, endless adventures, and a true sense of peace.
One day, our youngest son, Jack, looked out at the bay and said, “Mommy, the bay is our playground.” He couldn’t have said it better.
That love for the coastal lifestyle inspired us to create Stouts Creek Designs — a collection of custom apparel and accessories that celebrate The Bay Life and all that comes with it. We wanted products that truly reflect who we are and the places we love, and now we’re excited to share them with you.
We hope you enjoy our designs (and keep an eye out — there’s much more to come!). We’re always happy to help with custom orders or bring your ideas to life. Feel free to reach out — and hopefully, we’ll see you out on the water!
