Shana Aldrich, a designer from Maine, started The Ropes after being inspired by her surroundings to explore new materials.
A graduate of the Rhode Island School of Design, Shana followed her dream to become a designer and spent the beginning of her career as an apparel designer in New York City and Boston. After some time away, Shana realized her true passion was to return to Maine and pursue a design career in the surroundings that she was most influenced by.
Inspired by her frequent trips to the beach with her son Thomas and her love of the ocean, Shana founded The Ropes -- a line of hand-made accessories constructed from marine ropes and hardware. Her innovative flare for mixing stylish trends with traditional materials from Maine's marine culture has helped her develop The Ropes and brought her back to embrace the way of life that she loves.
