You'll have the ability to shop hyper-locally. Our shop features a curated collection of products from Maryland artists and makers. We know them all and would love to tell you a bit of the story behind their product. We're committed to being green. We think our planet needs protecting and preserving. We take steps to operate with sustainability in mind and ask the same of the makers we feature. We love unique vintage finds that have stood the test of time. You’ll find pieces carefully chosen, who’s timeless designs or quirky character make them a welcome addition to your collection.

Taken has been a dream in my mind for some time, a place to celebrate creativity and tell the story of home. Taken started as a way to connect the dots, between the artists and makers who create beautiful things and the people who want to support their creativity. Over the years we’ve evolved into a place that’s not just about beautiful things, it’s about the experience of the shop, the story of the products, and the joy it brings to your home.
