Thread Spun

Okay, you know those gift shops that seem like they're going to be so fun and look so cute, but once you go in there's nothing that you truly want that badly? This is not one of those gift shops. I had to stop myself before I bought the whole store. The curation of handmade pottery, clothing, decor and other gifts was so beautiful and unique -- I haven't seen any other stores with the items they carry. I ended up buying gifts for people 2-3 months in advance of their birthdays because I couldn't resist! I also bought stuff for myself :) Will definitely be back!

The curation of Thred Spun is *chef's kiss*! Thank you for all of the goodness your energy and events bring to the community! I have had nothing but positive experiences shopping here, both online and in person. I am proud to support this small, women owned business.

Fantastic selection of gifts! The items are perfectly curated, and the interior design is impeccable. The service is outstanding, and the location is convenient to reach. This is my go to store for everything unique.

Love this store. Highly selective. High quality, natural fibers and beautiful home goods. I think there’s something for everyone but definitely on pricier end. Fun sales and offers with seasonal transitions.

I don’t live in San Diego, but I will go hours out of my way to stop in to visit ThredSpun. It’s a really special space with beautiful products. It feels like an immediate retreat walking through the doors. It’s a small business I will always support!

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!

Really cute gift store. Perfect for birthday gifts or stocking stuffers! Reminds me of more curated Bay Area gift stores that I’m not used to seeing in north county.

I'm obsessed with this store! So so lucky now that I no longer live in California that at least I can shop online! AMAZING STORE! Here are some of the highlights in my shopping cart currently: - mesa necklaces - figaro toggle clasp necklace - birdie xyclophone

Okay, you know those gift shops that seem like they're going to be so fun and look so cute, but once you go in there's nothing that you truly want that badly? This is not one of those gift shops. I had to stop myself before I bought the whole store. The curation of handmade pottery, clothing, decor and other gifts was so beautiful and unique -- I haven't seen any other stores with the items they carry. I ended up buying gifts for people 2-3 months in advance of their birthdays because I couldn't resist!! This is going to be my first stop for gifts (including for myself, oops) in SD from now on.

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.

My recommendation is to not shop here based on a really upsetting experience I had. I'm going to include a lot of detail, just to be sure I cover anything the owner may bring up in response. I went into this store and noticed a bag with the state of Israel on it, colored in as a watermelon, a symbol commonly associated with the call for a one-state solution where Israel no longer exists. As a loyal Jewish customer who genuinely liked the store, I thought it was worth respectfully sharing that the imagery offended me. I spoke kindly to the manager and asked to write a note to the owner. The manager acknowledged my approach and thanked me for being calm and respectful, she mentioned someone else had yelled at her about this same thing. The owner, rather than engaging in a civil dialogue or even simply ignoring my note, which honestly is what I expected, decided to text the manager that she would "wipe her ass" with my note (before even reading it) and then made the strange choice to take a screenshot of their text exchange and post it to the store's Instagram account. I was shocked.  A few others have left reviews about this situation, and the owner has been deflecting, trying to paint me as the bad person instead of addressing her own behavior. She literally chose to publicly share a staff exchange where she said she would "wipe her ass" with a thoughtful note a patron left her. Someone who included the words "coexist" in the note. I 100% respect that everyone is entitled to their own beliefs, but her actions reflect blatant intolerance, and her behavior was unhinged and unnecessarily cruel. It's exactly the kind of behavior that makes people like me feel the need to post under an alias, out of concern for unnecessary hostile responses. Following this incident, a friend of mine attempted to speak with her over instragam, and the owner called us "genocidal fucks" (mainly referring to me, someone she had never met) and again made the strange decision to post that exchange to the stores Instagram account. In addition, she told another person "best of luck to you in the second round of The Hague Trials".  I simply do not agree with this behavior. In addition, the owner has lost the plot. You can't say you advocate for peace and behave this.   2 things brought up in previous responses by the owner I want to address... In a response below to a review here on yelp, to someone else about these events, Heidi claimed, "She called the store later to berate the staff." She also wrote, "Why couldn't this woman just choose not to engage?" Let me clarify, because she's clearly confused. I called the manager and simply said: "I saw the exchange the owner posted to Instagram. I noticed you reacted with a 'haha,' and I wanted you to know that I was hurt." I believe in dialogue, particularly when it's not aggressive. Also, I may be mistaken, but I thought I'd had a positive interaction with the manager. That was it. I didn't berate anyone. Did it make her uncomfortable? Probably, but that's not the same thing. As for "not engaging"? Funny the owner should say that given she chose to publicly post that she was going to "wipe her ass" with my letter? She has also told people that I said there are "bigger genocides." To clarify: in a flustered and emotional moment while speaking to the manager, I misspoke and said something along those lines. That was not my intention, and I do not believe there is a genocide Gaza. That is my personal opinion and no one has to agree with me. What I meant to convey is that there are many other conflicts around the world where large numbers of people are dying, yet I did not see the store carrying items making political statements about those issues. My point was about the inconsistency, not to minimize anyone's suffering. I am not denying I fumbled my words, I was emotional and anxious, but that doesn't change that the owner, again, is trying to deflect attention away from her own hateful behavior. Choose respect, kindness, and dialogue--or simply don't engage. Unfortunately, that's not how ThreadSpun has chosen to treat shoppers.

A customer left a respectful note for the owner of threadspun explaining why she didn't feel safe with a certain product. Instead of responding professionally, or just not engage, she posted a surveillance photo of the customer with crude and mocking comments on social media. I consider this bullying, and can put someone's safety at risk. I hope Encinitas stays a place of inclusiveness. Businesses like this have no place here.

I was in the store and what I thought would be an amazing and fun shopping experience turned into one that made me not want to come back EVER. The person that "helped" me was so no interested in answering my questions and just doing the bare minimum. Would not recommended, definitely would recommend to take a pass on going in if I were you.

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!

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!

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.

If you have fudged up and forgot to get a gift for a friend, this is the perfect place for last minute gifting. Anything from cute home decor to jewelry you can find, and all very unique. I have for many prints from here including ones about Leucadia and Encinitas which I love! Will continue to buy from this WOMEN RUN BIZ!

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!

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 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!).

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.

Best place for unique gifts and socially responsible sourced home goods. Got the cutest baby shower gift there the other day... and going back tomorrow to do the same!!!

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!

This shop is an absolute gem. It is my go-to for gifts for pretty much anyone now, and it's hard to leave without something for myself. Their ethical standards are the best icing on the best cake.

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.

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.

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!!

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

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.

I love this store! Every time I travel to San Diego, I have to stop by. I really appreciate that Threadspun sells handmade and ethical wares and does a lot of giving back to great causes. I always leave with the something cute and the fulfillment that the money is going towards ethical and sustainable practices. I also follow their Instagram religiously. I haven't met her in person but I love to follow along the owner. She's real and funny and has introduced me to other ways I can give back to different causes. Excited to visit the new store front next time :)

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!

Love this shop and its socially conscious mission and local/global small business maker support. The products are all beautiful and such an awesome collection of home goods, clothing, and gifts. Great place to find something you can feel great about gifting others. Grateful for the attention to COVID protocols... (so ready for this pandemic to be over.)

I visit at least once a month! I love in ocean beach 30 minutes away and always make it a priority to stop in when I go up to Encinitas. They are kind, the take the extra step to stock ethical sustainable product and everything is beautiful!! I feel the best in all the jewelry and clothes I get from here:) I've gotten a jung maven t shirt, a few earrings, a necklace, mohinder woven mules, and sun glasses. They care about the environment, the community, and people. Everyone should check this place out!!

This is a magical space with kind-souled individuals running it. If you're going to consume, why not support an awesome, local small business like this? Chock full of positivity!

This store is incredible. Beautiful and ethically sourced goodies. I could truly spend hours in there. The owner and the staff care about Covid and safety, they go above and beyond safety and responsibility for their customers. They are all SENSATIONAL! Please, please if you're in the area, go visit this incredible little place.

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

I love this store, the owner , the girls that work there and i share the same values. It gives me hope for humanity!

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 :)
