About Us
An East Coast lifestyle, inspired by nostalgia.
12th and Hemlock is a Pennsylvania-based lifestyle brand inspired by small towns, familiar traditions, and the places that stay with us long after we’ve left them.
A thoughtfully curated collection of apparel, home goods, and everyday treasures, our brand celebrates the charm of East Coast living and the beauty of things that never quite go out of style.
Think summers at the shore, weekends in the countryside, well-loved family homes, and wardrobes filled with pieces you’ll reach for year after year.
We believe the things we surround ourselves with should tell a story. From a favorite sweater to a candle on the kitchen counter, it’s often the simplest things that become part of our fondest memories.
At 12th and Hemlock, we’re drawn to the familiar, the thoughtfully made, and the little details that make everyday life feel special.
A little nostalgic. A little romantic. Always rooted in home.
MEET THE FOUNDER
Hi, I’m Abbey, the founder of 12th and Hemlock.
I’m a Pennsylvania girl with a love for small towns, family traditions, timeless style, and the nostalgia of growing up on the East Coast.
My love for retail began years ago while working in a children’s consignment shop, where I discovered my passion for merchandising, curating collections, and creating a memorable shopping experience.
What started as a dream of owning my own boutique has grown into something more: a lifestyle brand inspired by the places, people, and memories that have shaped me.
12th and Hemlock is a little piece of everything I love, and I hope you find something here that feels just as special to you.
Built on grace, crafted for your everyday sanctuary.
OUR STORY BEHIND THE NAME
Two places. A lifetime of memories.
12th and Hemlock was named after two places that shaped my childhood, each with its own traditions, familiar comforts, and memories I’ll carry forever.
12th Street — Avalon, New Jersey
My Pop and Grandmom’s beach house, where so many of my childhood summers were spent. Days at the beach, salty air, sun-faded afternoons, and the familiar excitement of returning to the same little shore town every summer.
The kind of place where generations of family memories are made, and where even the simplest traditions become the ones you treasure most.
Hemlock Drive — Pennsylvania
My PapPap and Grandma’s home in the mountains. A place of towering trees, campfires, crisp mornings, and weekends spent with family. Where time seemed to move a little slower, and there was always something special about being together.
Two different places, connected by the same feeling of belonging.
Together, they became 12th and Hemlock.
Our name is a reminder of where we come from, the people who shape us, and the memories that make ordinary places extraordinary.
It’s that same sense of nostalgia and familiarity that inspires everything we do.
Rooted in nostalgia. Inspired by the East Coast. Made for the everyday.
With love,
Abbey
