Our Story:

Bows and Arrows was started by husband and wife team, Chelsea and Matt, in 2013. 

 

The store owner, Chelsea, began her career in the fashion and retail industry in Tallahassee, Florida, where she and her husband, attended Florida State University. Chelsea graduated from FSU with degree in Apparel Design and Merchandising, and after several management positions, many visual merchandising projects and leading store remodels for Gap Inc's Old Navy, Chelsea took over as General Manager and the couple relocated to Sarasota, Florida.

 

Then came Florida State's championship season. Living in Sarasota, Chelsea, found it nearly impossible to find cute FSU gear for game day. There were plenty of options for cheap t-shirts or Nike gear from the usual retailers, but nothing else. Even searching for a unique garnet and gold colored dress in the mall was time consuming and the search came up empty. Bows and Arrows was born.

 

Bowsandarrowsco.com was launched during the summer of 2014. Chelsea and Matt's guest bedroom doubled as their online warehouse, focusing on providing great, unique fashion options for the Florida State fans for game day. After packing and shipping tons of orders every day for Florida State fans for 2 seasons, Florida Gators fans were catching on and asking "where's my cute game day gear, too?!" The Florida Gator collection was launched. By 2017, with closets collapsing and boxes of merchandise piling to the ceiling, Chelsea knew it was time for the next move.

 

The first Bows and Arrows, brick and mortar location officially opened in Sarasota, Florida, in July 2017. More than just game day, the brick and mortar location allowed Bows and Arrows to expand in every day fashion rooted in southern style.
