Thread Spun

A friend of mine left a heartfelt note for the store owner, sharing her feelings about a product on display. Instead of responding respectfully -- or simply choosing not to engage -- the owner posted a surveillance photo of my friend writing the note on her Instagram story, along with a crude comment about "wiping" her butt with it. It's one thing to disagree; it's another to publicly mock a customer who expressed themselves respectfully. Disagreement can happen without disrespect. My concern is not about the store's right to sell a product or their stance on any issue -- it's about the unprofessional and inappropriate decision to ridicule a customer publicly. If you care about respectful dialogue, professionalism, and inclusivity, I would think twice before supporting this business.

Threadspun is everything good. Taste. Style. Morals. And real community. They prioritize people-not systems-which is what keeps Leucadia funky. The independent spirit of Threadspun is the most authentic embodiment of Encinitas since Home and Good Morning closed. We used to pride ourselves in this town on not selling out to The Man. This cozy place is a haven- There is safety for Indigenous voices and people rallying around what matters. North County is better because of Heidi and Crew. No$úun Pilek Lóoviq for the care these women put in to this town. Pi Ngé momyam hechivuktum aláxwish!

The owner’s response was dismissive, mocking, and openly hostile toward concerns raised by a customer. This conduct is deeply hurtful because it invalidates the lived experiences and safety of an entire community, sending the message that their feelings and well-being don’t matter. When someone takes pride in such immature, exclusionary behavior, it moves beyond ignorance to willful disregard—a choice to perpetuate harm rather than engage in learning and dialogue. Choosing exclusion fueled by hatefulness is a painful failure to grow.

This is my go-to shop for everything! They have the BEST gifts ever (you’ll find something for everyone) and I always find cute kids clothes/toys/gifts for my niece here. Basically anytime I need anything for myself, a girlfriend, a Christmas/holiday gift, house warming..you’ll find it here! They have a great selection of clothes, shoes, kitchenware and accessories, jewelry, cards… anything really! And their staff are always so sweet and helpful. Support local!

If you want to shop and support a locally owned business to buy gifts for your loved owns and also yourself then this should be your first stop. I ordered online and did run into an issue with an item that was out of stock, but was contacted relatively quickly by the owner and she worked with me to fix the issue. Talk about white glove service! Not only that she helped me to make the present for the giftee a special occasion that did bring delight and joy into my loved ones life. She loved the items my family picked out for her.

Had the worst customer experience and can't believe the racist remarks that came from the owner. Profanity in a retail setting is just inappropriate & uncalled for, and the hostility was completely unacceptable.

Such a beautiful, inclusive and inviting space. The store is thoughtfully filled with so many goodies & the art workshops are amazing!

Great shop. They stand up for humans rights. Would highly recommend supporting them.

I was excited to check this store out, after seeing the reviews. However, my experience was rather different than most. Seems like I was not the clientele they were interested in, as I was ignored the entire time I browse the shop. Other customers came in and were greeted, welcomed even offered drinks. While I was just overlooked. Although, they did have some cute items in their store, I will not be coming back.

This place has amazing and unique goods that you can feel good about purchasing. Their collection is beautiful and you can have confidence in what you spending supports all while looking fashionable and/or giving truly lovely and special little gifts. Our world needs more shops like this!

This store is such a great place. There were so many cute things in there and it was such a nice, laid-back shopping experience. You can tell that the items in this store are chosen with quality in mind. Also the salesperson Jo was so sweet and friendly. Will definitely be back!

I was looking for a place nearby to buy a greeting card, & Yelp had a review for Thread Spun, so I went there. What an adorable little store! You wouldn't think it from the low-key exterior. One side had cards, jewelry, & "kid stuff". I bought tees for 2 of my grands that had a face made out of the word Leucadia, which the owner had designed. I didn't have time to explore the other side, which looked to be adult clothing, but I will be back. Shop local, & support a great business!

Thread Spun is one of my favorite shops in Encinitas for cute gifts and other home goods. This is always our first stop when we need a gift for a friend, new mom, or really anyone! They also have cute artwork and greeting cards, among tons of other items like jewelry, clothing, and pillows. The kids' section is always well stocked with adorable clothing and other toys! We have always been so impressed with the friendly staff who has helped us find what we are looking for. Highly recommend next time you are in need of a gift for you or someone else!

Stopped in here the other day when I had a few minutes between appointments. Love this cute store. I bought a hand painted map called, "Keep it Funky. Leucadia." Had to have it as I went to kindergarten in Leucadia at Paul Ecke Central School in the mid 60's. I emailed the owner of Thread Spun to ask who had painted the map as I wanted to thank the artist and tell her my story. She got right back to me. Now that is customer service! And then I emailed the artist to thank her for the cool rendition of Leucadia and she got back to me. I love the synchronicity. Love Leucadia and hope it stays funky!

Best place to get gifts in all of North County for baby shower, birthday, hostess. The store is curated for swoon-vibes-only. I always feel energized when enter this space. Truly unique finds (that are ethically sourced and support feel-good causes.) If your visiting Encinitas, stop by as a destination - there is a OG plant place next door, some other cute shops in the strip and a coffee shop too - a quick walk to yummy eateries.

I can't say enough good things about this place, the owner & all the staff. Heidi is a gem of a human and the staff are so kind. This is my go to place for gifts! Thoughtfully curated finds and I love that you don't see things here that you see in every other boutique. There's a focus on goods that are ethically & sustainably made + they give back & are focused on socioeconomic justice Every thing I've gotten from here is amazing quality & lasts . I'm currently obsessed with the candle selection!

First off, this place is so cute. Aesthetically pleasing and the clothes were so cute. However, the staff blew my mind at there behavior. Walking in, they looked at me and my friend and never even said a simple hi. As we were shopping, they proceeded to talk about there current sales and disclosed information about the stores income which I thought was a little unprofessional. Not only that, but they were drinking alcohol out of the can so the customers could clearly see they were drinking on the job. If you are going to have a drink at least don't show it off to the customers.

I adore this store! I have been trying to purchase mostly ethically made clothing items for the last few years and this is one of the only stores in the area that has some amazing ethically made clothing brands! Their selection is unparalleled. Not for just clothing, but for gifts, accessories, jewelry, home items and decor, even underwear and swimwear! I can't walk in this store without wanting a majority of the items. This is my go-to spot when I need to get a gift for a good friend or loved one, and to be honest I more than often leave with a few things for myself too. Threadspun is an absolute hidden gem in Encinitas!

I wanted to update my review because I've gone back countless times over the last year! The staff and service are still nothing but incredible! I know how difficult it is for small businesses during this time and how hectic it is to maintain a safe space for all; I appreciate Heidi and her staff for being so kind and helpful every moment in and out of the shop! Their Instagram sales @threadspun are definitely something to keep and eye out for! I am extremely grateful for how much care this shop has taken in enforcing their regulations because it gives me peace of mind while I shop! This shop is such a pillar of community and a safe space for all!

Absolutely love this magical shop! One of a kind treasures. Many handmade. Ethically sourced. Clothing, art, pottery, bandanas, jewelry, and more - so many different items. I could spend all day, every day there. Beautiful gifts for yourself and for friends and family. Very safe with COVID-19 measures in place. They have an amazing online store too! Highly recommend!!!

Love how much this shop cares for its' local community and supports artists. Whether you're shopping for a gift or for self care, this store is full of beautiful things! I'm always inspired by the unique variety of jewelry, clothes, artwork and home goods. Plus the gals behind it all are just awesome!

Love their selection and socially conscious vibe. I want everything in the store! Wonderful owner that gives back to the community.

Thread Spun is a very cute local boutique. The shop is well curated and has a great vibe.

Love the community feel of this local shop! They have fairly traded, ethically produced goods that you can feel good about. :) Everything is so well curated, there's always something new to bring home. I also respect and appreciate how they've worked to keep their business open and safe. I do a lot of buying online these days, but I also feel safe popping by the shop with the safety measures they have in place. Also, I really appreciate learning about the local nonprofits they support and the work they do. So very lucky to have this gem in our 'hood.

Threadspun is absolutely one of my favorite stores! The staff is amazing and the store is full of beautiful, ethically sourced goods. There's truly something here for everyone! It's the perfect place to shop for gifts or to pick yourself up something unique and when you spend your money at Threadspun you know you're supporting a small family run business founded on strong ethics and fair trade. I truly can't recommend it highly enough! Don't miss it if you're in the area (or check out their online shop which is super easy to use!).

Love all of their sustainably sourced clothing, local handmade pottery and great jewelry selection friendliest and most beautiful staff ever!

This lil shop is all you've ever dreamed about. It's cozy, full of incredible finds, bright and so welcoming. The staff here is a throwback to how retail used to be- Attentive and friendly. You feel like you're shopping with your best friend. And the selection! These are not the run of mill offerings. The thought and attention this team puts into bringing it's customers unique and quality goods is top notch!

Caring, compassionate and kind small business with outstanding customer service. Highly recommend.

Beautifully curated handmade and ethically made goods! Rest assured, the wonderful staff here have found the best of the best items to gift yourself or to lovingly gift to someone else. Definitely worth stopping in and you'll keep going back for more.

Beautiful & well-selected pieces that are high quality and ethically produced. Friendly staff & peaceful environment. A wonderful representation of the community that I'm always proud to shop at!

Literally every single one of my favorite things is from Thread Spun, and the best part is that each item is hand-made using Fair Trade materials, and Thread Spun gives back in more ways than one. Not only do they hire resettled refugees to sew their one-of-a-kind clutches, surfboard bags, and pillows, but they donate a percentage from each sale to an amazing nonprofit, Circle of Health International. The owner of Thread Spun, Heidi, has an amazing eye for textiles, gifts, candles, wall hangings, art, jewelry, hats, cards, etc. Every item in the shop is drool-worthy. And she has a heart of gold, that is the reason why Thread Spun is my favorite place to shop locally.

Even in Covid, shop is super welcoming. We've gone twice now and they're always kind, friendly and helpful. I'm a huge supporter of shops that carry ethical and eco friendly brands. Ended up buying a beautiful hat and definitely going back for the adorable maternity packages.

Encinitas / Leucadia has so many great shops and hidden gems but Threadspun is BY far my favorite shop to patron. Not only do they have the most amazing products sourced responsibly and compassionately they also have the kindest staff and best owner. Happy to say my bedroom is fully outfitted in Threadspun swag!!

Thread Spun gives me hope of a better world. Yes items are more pricey than other places- but that is because creators aren't being exploited. Dreaming of a world where every store had the same standards and integrity. This sweet shop shows us how we can/should/must do better.

Awesome online shopping experience. Fast shipping and sweet notes included. Highly recommend. I love everything this shop stands for. Keep fighting the good fight!

I have bought several items online through the store website which has always been a positive experience; delivered quickly and wrapped sustainably- can't ask for more! But I just visited the store in person for the first time last week and... I'm in love! It's probably best I don't live in the area because I would go there ALL THE TIME. It is such a soothing and creative space, is perfect for gift ideas, self-care, home goods... the items are so wonderfully curated that everything you touch is soul-quenching. Not to mention it's ethically sourced and helps support both refugees from afar and the local community. You're bound to leave feeling good. The staff is friendly, helpful, and following strict covid policies, which I very much appreciate! I couldn't find the right size in a matching top/pant set, but the staff kindly checked their back of store inventory and then ended up ordering it for me and couldn't have been nicer in helping me find what I was looking for. It feels good to support a woman-owned, small business with roots in the local community and support for people abroad. Plus I haven't taken off the shoes or hat I bought there since I left 5 days ago.... great stuff sold with great principles behind them.

This has become my go-to store to shop for gifts and art locally in Leucadia. The tiny shop is incredibly well-curated and chock full of all sorts of things you didn't even know you needed or wanted, from cute kids things to great wellness products and fun art prints. I love Thread Spun's mission too!

Love this store and really love what they represent. So many unique items, ethically sourced. I can't even fathom why anyone would give this store a negative review. The first time I went to the store I met the shop owner, Heidi. She was such a joy. She helped me find the right sized sun hat. I went back in a second time to pick up my hat that she special ordered for me and one of her employees was working. Again, such a positive experience and ended up buying some jewelry. I'd probably be in more often if I lived in Encinitas. Definitely worth a visit.

The most charming shop with the most personable and hilarious owner. The mission of the shop, to employ refugees, sell goods that are good for humanity and donate to Circle of Health International (providing health care to moms and babies and those in need) makes you feel so fulfilled when you also get the best ever beach hat, stylish bags and beautiful home goods. Everything is so one-of-a-kind. I especially love the jewelry and the bags. It's a great place to stop in when you need to buy a gift. There are things available in all different prices ranges. I had to get a gift for someone I didn't know that well, but I easily found things anyone would love and another couple things for myself. Great house warming gifts as well. Such a great vibe and a perfect addition to funky Leucadia!

Thread Spun's mission is to support refugees, fair-trade producers, and women's health through sales of the most beautifully crafted and curated home goods, jewelry, purses, hats and surfboard bags. The attention Heidi brings to sourcing and supporting artisan makers is absolutely the reason to shop here. Also the items you can purchase range in price so its a truly accessible place to shop for all price points. Don't forget you can also buy online and Heidi may even gift you with a little art on your packaging :)

I loved this store and everything in it. I will definitely be back very soon! The staff was super nice and welcoming and they were taking several precautions against COVID
