Lycette Designs was founded in 2015 by Jessica Chaney. A childhood surrounded by needlepoint led her to a part time job in college at the iconic needlepoint shop “The Point of It All” in Washington DC. It was during her time there that she fell in love with the needlepoint community.

After graduating from George Washington University with a major in marketing and a minor in fine arts, she managed the same needlepoint shop in DC and and immersed herself in learning about the industry- the designers, fiber lines, finishing, and the heritage of the craft. She noticed a desperate need for colorful, cheeky canvases that were grounded in classic elements of design and interior decoration. Soon thereafter she headed up north to Vermont to reset and construct the bones of Lycette. There she designed her first collection of needlepoint canvases that launched in the spring of 2016.
Two years later she opened Lycette’s Palm Beach flagship store, a charming storefront on South County Road with a brick façade, an enchanting bay window, and oodles of natural light. A few years later, Lycette opened a second location in Newport, RI.

Lycette’s passion for needlepoint is evident whether you are shopping online or in store, with an atmosphere that evokes lush Palm Beach winters, New England summer hydrangeas, and the effortless elegance of classic interior design. Jessica hopes her great-grandmother’s name, Lycette, brings a smile to your face and that the exclusive lines of colorful, cheeky canvases enchant you and spark your imagination. Most of all, she hopes Lycette inspires you to needlepoint your own heirlooms that will be cherished for decades to come. Happy Stitching!
