Our Story

I’m a mom of three who has called Belmont home for several years. Recognizing a need for a unique baby and children's boutique, I founded Third Culture Collective, a store inspired by my upbringing in Armenia and Egypt. The name "Third Culture" reflects my experience as a "Third Culture Kid"—a term used to describe children raised in cultures different from those of their parents.

With Third Culture Collective, I aim to create a space that reflects the diverse, global, and national experiences of families. The boutique is dedicated to curating a collection of clothing that speaks to every child's unique style while celebrating their individuality. I believe clothing can be a language, so I want to offer styles that embrace each child’s uniqueness with kindness.

Third Culture Collective is a place where every garment tells a story, woven from threads of different cultures into a tapestry of multifaceted identity. Here, kids can "wear many coats," each one representing a piece of their personal journey.

For now, Third Culture will operate online and at select pop-uo events (check out our event page), wtih hopes of having a brick and mortar in downtown Belmont!
