Our Story
Welcome Aboard
Lemon & Line® handcrafts nautically inspired bracelets and accessories in the Ocean State.
The history is a little foggy, but the brand was launched one summer night over a ration of Dark ‘n Stormys. Staring down at the weathered turks head bracelet on his wrist, life-long sailor David Norton saw the opportunity for something different.
Using only marine grade materials, he set out to make the “new” rope bracelet. Clean & subtle in approach, Lemon & Line® debuted the original square knot bracelet in 2010.
Now offering a large selection of styles and colors, Lemon & Line® has something for the sailor in all of us.
OUR PROMISE
Materials Matter.
All things are not created equal and the sea exposes weakness. Sailors to the core - we know what will last after weeks, months, and years at sea. We build all of our products to last using strictly marine-grade materials: stainless steel & custom braided line are key components. That means you can wear your Lemon & Line proudly for years to come - in, and on, the water.
