Mystic Knotwork is the source for the original sailor bracelet, traditional knotwork re-imagined as fashion and decor. Starting in 1957, we have worked for decades to ensure the nautical look includes traditional knotwork.

We have two locations only 600 feet apart. One, on Cottrell Street is our workshop where you can see the making process and the other on the corner at Holmes Street where there is a more defined shopping experience. In both locations, the artisans will make custom bracelets and other knot work while you watch, just ask.

Mystic Knotwork is a one of a kind experience. As the only knot shop of it's kind open to the public in the nation, Mystic Knotwork is an immersive experience. 2014 Martha Stewart Heritage Award Winners, 2016 American Craft Artisans Extraordinaire, and 2017 Business Insider's Top Souvenir for Connecticut, overlooks the fact we've been at this for over 60 years.
