Coral & Tusk's mission is to delight and inspire through purposefully designed, long-lasting products for the home.
our story
Coral & Tusk creates spirited embroidered textiles for the home. Founded in 2007 by designer Stephanie Housley, our creative process is a special alchemy of storytelling, illustration, and machine embroidery. Each design begins as an original pencil drawing by Stephanie and is then translated to cloth through a unique process that retains her hand. Crafted with artistry and imagination, a Coral & Tusk piece is sure to surprise and delight.

Our Founder
Our Founder
Born and raised in the Ohio Valley, Stephanie Housley studied textile design at RISD and worked as a professional interior textile designer in New York City. After fifteen years in the industry, Stephanie founded Coral & Tusk with a single embroidery machine in her Brooklyn apartment. With her strong design background, inherent resourcefulness and the initial help of her husband Chris Lacinak, Stephanie transformed her passion project into a well-loved brand and independent business.
As Coral & Tusk has evolved over the years, Stephanie’s hand-drawn, machine-embroidered illustrations remain the company’s connecting thread. In 2016, after nearly two decades living in New York, Stephanie and Chris relocated to Wyoming. They share their mountain home with their rescue dogs Papi and Penny.
— StephanieThe stories I tell with thread are my way of paying homage to the vibrant natural world, and the child I was when I discovered it.
Every collection begins with a world of inspiration and curiosity.
Our Process
Start with A Story 01
Stephanie first creates her irreverent characters and bold pattern designs by putting pencil to paper. Every collection begins with abundant research and each individual design stems from her original hand-drawn illustrations.
Drawing To Digital 02
Stephanie then scans her original drawing, creating a digital file. She redraws the design, stitch by stitch, using specialized software.
Connecting Threads 03
Once her designs are digitized, Stephanie connects with our partners in India to begin production. Together they work to perfect each design, finalizing layouts and colors. Our partners in India implement ethical working conditions and provide fair wages.
Bring it to Life 04
Once the design is perfected, it is machine embroidered in India by our embroidery partner of over ten years. The large scale embroidery machines make it possible for us to scale Stephanie’s creative process with the flexibility of small production runs.
From Fiber to Cloth 05
Nearly all of our products are embroidered on 100% unbleached and undyed linen, avoiding the pollutants found in standard textile dying practices and reducing water consumption. Our linen begins as a flax plant in Lithuania and is then wet spun into yarn at an ISO 9001 company in West Bengal, India, before arriving in Bangalore, India for weaving. All of our linen fiber is Oeko-Tex Standard 100 Certified, confirming that it does not contain any harmful substances or chemicals.
Stitch It Up 06
Sewing is the final step of our production process. Every Coral & Tusk embroidery is transformed into the final product by our long-time tailors who expertly hem and stitch every piece for you to enjoy in your home.
