Mystic Knotwork is the best and most complete source of nautical sailor knot bracelets, woven knot decorations for your home. Here is your source for the special touches for nautical wedding accent pieces as well.
The first and oldest knot shop in the United States, Mystic Knotwork created the nautical style bracelet that has grown in popularity and been adopted by fashion styles through the years. Starting in the coastal and nautical worlds, our work was adopted by the hippie movement of the 60's, surged during the macrame craze of the 70's. We have to admit to playing with neon colors in the 80's, and the style continues on as giving a sense of authenticity and nostalgia all the way through. We are especially grateful for the last decade and the turn to American Made and high quality personal style.
To put it in perspective. Dwight Eisenhower is President, Elvis Presley bought Graceland, and Mystic Knotwork made the news. The year is 1957 and the countries first decorative knot shop was already open to the public. Artisans traveled from all around the world to learn knot tying from my grandfather and he and my grandmother created the style that is still popular in coastal villages all around the United States.
Mystic Knotwork nautical style has a style all it's own. We joke that trends find us every 5 or 6 years, but the coastal community all over the country stays. Seaside style needs knots. Fashion and decorating trends come and go. We won't chase those trends, we just make the essential elements of fashion and home decoration to let you show your most authentic self.
Our knots all have stories behind them, both histories of use aboard ships of the sea, but equally odd stories about how the ideas moved into the nautical world. As a teaser: in 2006, a sale of 25 dog toys was our entry into the Nautical Wedding market...the rest of the story is on this site somewhere, enjoy your visit, and please support American Made knot tyers working from our 180 year old building in Historic Downtown Mystic, CT.
Beautiful! I love it
Beautiful! I love it -- put it right on. Size is right -- I have small wrists and got the small, then showered with it on, which shrunk it to the perfect snug, but not too snug, fit. Thank you!

I was in a time crunch for my wedding, the owners were amazing and got my order out quickly and were very easy to communicate and work with! The item was great quality and added a very nice touch to our nautical themed wedding. Thank you!!

I buy one of these anklets each summer. I am a Cape Cod girl and for some reason tying this on my ankle makes me yearn for the beaches. It also looks great with a tan. This is high quality and I haven't noticed any shrinkage. I wear it all summer. From the day I put it on at the end of May until mid September. I will definitely buy another one again next year.

Wreath Centerpiece
5 out of 5 stars
I love this piece! It was bought for my home to use on my dining or coffee table. I haven't taken it off the coffee table because I love that I see it constantly! I have a few different vases and ceramic bowls that I can place in the center for a finished off beach/nautical look!

Original Sailor Knot Bracelet
LOVE this beautiful Sailor Knot Bracelet! The item was shipped quickly, price was VERY reasonable, quality of bracelet is excellent. I viewed the Company's website and am very impressed with their merchandise, location, and prices. I did not realize how large this Company is and would like to visit them, the next time I am in Mystic! I have been looking for this style Knot bracelet, for quite some time. Looks like I will no longer have to shop around in search for one; and have found my "go to" place for future purchases. Thank you!!
