8knots was introduced by designer Marcia Bayard on Shelter Island, New York in the summer of 2009. Inspired by the many facets of marine life, she was drawn to the nuanced colors and textures that are to be found by the sea and on the water.

With the Shelter Island seaside as a backdrop, Marcia Bayard has developed a line of products for 8knots with a coastal lifestyle in mind, whether it be in a summer house on the beach in the Hamptons, a spa on the Pacific Coast or on a yacht cruising the Mediterranean.

8knots offers a distinctive range of products for the shore home dweller, boater or beach goer and for customers of spa, hotel and resort establishments. Their portfolio includes bath and beach towels, robes, soaps and resort apparel & accessories.
