Rebecca Pearcy founded Queen Bee Creations in 1996 when she was 23 years old. Rebecca started creating her colorful bags, wallets, and accessories from a corner in her bedroom, and slowly grew the business as demand increased. The company has grown to include Rebecca Pearcy Textiles – original designs hand printed onto natural fabrics & sewn into housewares and accessories. All of Queen Bee’s goods are made locally in Portland, OR. Queen Bee employs several skilled staff members who all help to bring the designs to life at “the Hive” on North Williams in Portland. Visitors to the studio shop can see the staff in action while browsing the store, offering an unusual connection between buyer and maker. The Queen Bee studio store also features apparel, jewelry, housewares and gifts made by other local & regional indie-designers. Queen Bee’s designs are sold to retail & wholesale customers throughout the world and are recognizable for their trademark colorful appliqué, contrast stitching, and high-quality construction.
