Our Story
Dandelion’s story begins in 1966, when Beth Fluke opened a fresh-cut flower shop in Kennebunkport, Maine. She called it The Dandelion. Never one to settle, Beth quickly outgrew the sleepy town and made the move to Philadelphia, where she shifted her focus from flowers to handmade jewelry. A true family business, Beth’s daughters, Leslie and Lellie grew up in the shop. Memories were built within its walls and meetings were always planned around naptime. After exploring other passions, Leslie and Lellie decided to follow in their mother’s footsteps and run Dandelion together.
Dandelion strives to stay on the cutting edge of fashion, providing visibility for new artists and giving our customers access to the latest trends. As a family-owned and female-led business, they seek to build relationships with every person who enters their shop, fostering an environment your family can be proud of—one that inspires your family to continue visiting theirs.
