About Catbird

In over 21 years in business, Catbird has become an icon, the ultimate destination for gifts and jewelry. Founded in Brooklyn, NY, Catbird is a mecca for an international cast of shoppers who come to visit the brick and mortar stores of their beloved website. Both our stores and website are filled with a carefully curated selection of designers, including our in-house line of jewelry. Our Catbird line is made in our Brooklyn studio and with a few trusted partners, using ethically sourced materials and conflict-free stones. Highly trained Catbird jewelers oversee every step of the process. We are dedicated to a return to local manufacturing – what our neighborhood was famous for. Catbird is a proud member of the CFDA, certified Made in New York, and No Dirty Gold.

The key to our success is remaining true to our values:

-We believe in being an anti-racist organization and actively championing diversity, inclusion, and equity

-We believe in making and selling things people will want to keep forever and will bring continuous joy.

-We believe in doing everything we can ourselves.

-We believe in always thinking of the long game and not focusing on a quick profit.

-We believe we are the best at what we do and we work hard to make sure we know how to sustain it as we grow.

-We believe in treating everyone (coworkers, customers, vendors) with deep respect, kindness, and honesty.
