Life can really sucker punch you, you know?
You make a plan, and you start humming along working your plan. But all the while, obstacles are flying at you, slowing you down or impeding your way. And sometimes those obstacles can be insurmountable--and you end up going off-trail, making and working an entirely new plan. You can get lost. But you can also discover new paths, new insights, new loves. But since we have to go trekking on the twisted trails of life, we can at least try to learn some things, have some fun, and support each other along the way. Our Twisted Trail Life journey began during the turmoil of the COVID-19 pandemic when this pair of Gen-X identical twin sisters dreamt of a new way to share our artistic, creative, and technical skillsets--and our extreme stubbornness and sassy whit--with you guys. Aren't you lucky?! We wanted to do things a little differently. In fact, we often do things the hard way because it feels better and we're control freaks. We shy away from dropshipping models, preferring to create and deliver our products ourselves, using sustainable materials wherever feasible. We try to support local artists and small businesses. We embrace body positivity and gender nonconformity--really, we love all sorts of nonconformity and irreverence quite a lot around here. We're nerds, swearers, nature lovers, punny, allies, and animal people. You'll see a lot of those themes in our designs. We hope you love them as much as we do. We're overflowing with ideas, so keep an eye on us for new products. Wherever you are in your twisted journey, we hope you are giving and receiving support from fellow trailblazers!
