ABOUT US
For the Ones Who Carry It All.
Meet the Founder
Hi, I'm Shonté, founder of Forest Street Co.
Forest Street Co. was created in honor of my grandmother and the street that shaped my childhood. Growing up, I watched her carry so much for everyone around her with strength, grace, and love. She taught me that a bag carries more than belongings, it carries memories, responsibilities, dreams, and the pieces of life we hold closest.
As a veteran, entrepreneur, and mother of three, I understand what it means to juggle multiple roles while showing up for the people who depend on you. That experience became the foundation of Forest Street Co. and inspired our message: For the Ones Who Carry It All.
What started as an idea has grown into a brand trusted by thousands of customers across the country. From everyday totes to travel essentials and statement pieces, every collection is thoughtfully designed with real life in mind because the people carrying our bags are carrying so much more.
Forest Street Co. is more than a brand. It's a tribute to legacy, resilience, and the people who continue to show up every day for their families, their goals, and themselves.
Thank you for being part of this journey.
— Shonté
Founder, Forest Street Co.
