A Walk in the Woods

Imagine yourself surrounded by the scenic beauty of the Inland Northwest. Among the ponderosa pines, mountain vistas and quiet lakes of the northern woods, you find a secluded, cozy haven that offers an escape from the tensions of life.

A Journey Begins

This is the story of Coldwater Creek’s origin. It’s a tale of two cities and two people, Ann and Dennis Pence, who fled the urban congestion of New York City to the evergreen, open spaces of Sandpoint, Idaho. There, the Selkirk and Cabinet Mountains surround land that’s home to bald eagles, black bears, moose and elk. An ideal setting to follow a dream.

An Adventure Unfolds

With nature as their muse, our founders launched the first Coldwater Creek catalog in January 1984. It featured 18 nature-related items, including wind chimes, bird feeders and a $300 water phone used to call humpback whales. The distribution center? A closet in their two-bedroom apartment. But with perseverance and the addition of artful jewelry and clothing to the product mix, the business took off.

Our Story Continues

From a handful of novelties to a full line of clothing, accessories and home accents, Coldwater Creek has evolved and grown, while staying true to our Mountain West heritage. As we celebrate 40 years, we thank you for sharing this journey – with all its twists and turns. And we look to the road ahead with joy, optimism and a sense of wonder.
