About US

Thick As Thieves was started by Jeremy Smick and Samantha Caltagirone, a husband and wife team who packed up everything they owned and moved from the Midwest to beautiful Palm Springs, California to open their first brick and mortar boutique store in early 2017. With a little budget and a lot of creativity, the duo created a highly curated shop of handmade goods, gifts, clothing, oddities and unique finds that blend industrial, primitive, modern and global styles. In December 2019, their store was named 1 of 50 Best Home Stores in America by House Beautiful Magazine. They’ve also been honored to be included in Goop’s Travel Guide as Best Shops in Palm Springs, California.

ABOUT OUR BRANDS

THICK AS THIEVES

Nestled in the heart of downtown Palm Springs, our flagship store is the physical home for all of our unique brands and merchandise. Here, you'll find an eclectic mix of apparel, jewelry, apothecary, artwork, and home goods that reflect our deep love for great design and intentional craftsmanship. Our collection brings together independent makers we believe in, creative local collaborations, and products we design and craft in-house. Thick As Thieves is our creative playground, where original design and local artistry come together under one roof.

LITTLE THIEVES

After having kids of our own, we decided to let the little ones in on the fun too. Little Thieves is our desert-inspired boutique within Thick As Thieves, created especially for our littlest shoppers. We bring the same thoughtfulness, quality, and design sensibility to a curated selection made just for kids. Favorite items include hand-printed apparel, toys, books, and other goods with PLENTY of personality.

HERBAL HARMONY

Herbal Harmony is our in-house apothecary and fiber art collection, created alongside our secret weapon, Sam’s mom! Janice brings a lifetime of expertise in herbalism, artisan crafts, and textile art to our shelves. Every single item is handmade in small batches using natural ingredients and materials. From everyday apothecary essentials to one-of-a-kind macramé pieces, everything is crafted with ultimate attention to quality, detail, and, of course, love.

THIEVES CREATIVE SERVICES

Before opening Thick As Thieves, we spent more than 25 years working in advertising, developing brands and leading creative campaigns, events, and experiences. Thieves Creative Studio is a natural extension of our shop, offering services grounded in the same creative approach that has defined our style since the beginning. What started as a retail shop has grown into a creative practice where we elevate brands and businesses through graphic design, photography, interior design, and retail services.

GLORIOUS FAILURE

COMING SOON! Our premium vintage collection, created in partnership with The Frippery. We’ve spent years collecting and sourcing unique and rare pieces from around the world, and now we’re ready to bring them out of the vault. What started as an obsession with finding great vintage has grown into an archive we’re excited to finally share.
