About Me

Welcome to My Story!

I'm Seth Sheldon, and I’ve spent much of my legal career in the breathtaking Virgin Islands, creating a life grounded in love, adventure, and creativity. But my story doesn’t stop at the courtroom — it stretches across oceans, books, cities, and ideas. It’s a journey where law meets lifestyle, where vintage meets bold, and where roots meet the road. I’m excited to share a bit about who I am — and how it all connects to the heart of Driftshop Relic.

Love for Island Life

Living in the Virgin Islands has deepened my appreciation for beauty in all forms — natural, cultural, and spiritual. The lush hills, golden hours, and vibrant community life aren’t just a backdrop — they’re the daily inspiration. I spend time exploring hidden beaches, hiking jungle trails, and absorbing the rhythm of a culture that celebrates both stillness and movement. It’s here that I learned how important it is to live slowly, deeply, and creatively.

Ocean Life

The ocean is my reset button — a place that teaches presence and perspective. Whether I’m snorkeling over coral gardens or sailing across endless blue, the sea reminds me to stay fluid, stay curious, and protect what’s sacred. It’s this connection to nature that fuels my respect for craftsmanship, sustainability, and authenticity — all values that ripple into the work and the brand.

Passion for Adventure

Adventure fuels my spirit. From hiking to waterfalls and biking through cities I’ve never seen to discovering new street food flavors abroad, I’ve always felt most alive when on the move. I’ve studied in Spain and D.C., chased sun in Greece, and wandered across England — collecting stories, aesthetics, and memories that now find their way into my work. I see adventure not just as a thrill, but as a lifestyle. And that wanderlust pulses through Driftshop Relic — a brand built for the curious, the bold, and the well-traveled. Because in the end, what is life — or home — if not a daring adventure?

Creative Spirit

Creativity is the common thread through every chapter of my life. I love to think — crafting inspiration from both old and new great thinkers, further inspired by the places I’ve been and the people I love. That same energy guides how I build and express Driftshop Relic: through intentional design, nostalgic style, and storytelling that bridges time. I’ve always been drawn to retro details with a modern edge — pieces that feel like they've lived a life but are ready for yours.

Love for the Blues

Creativity is the common thread through every chapter of my life, and my love for the blues is a significant part of that narrative. My journey led me to pursue a law degree from Ole Miss, a serendipitous discovery that intertwined with my passion for the blues, as the Mississippi Blues Trail runs through the heart of my education. This rich cultural backdrop has shaped my perspective and deepened my appreciation for the music that speaks to the sufferings of life that move us.

As William Faulkner once said, "To understand the world, one must understand a place like Mississippi." The blues are not just a genre of music but a reflection of the struggles, triumphs, and stories of the people who have walked this land. That same energy guides how I build and express Driftshop Relic: through intentional design, nostalgic style, and storytelling that bridges time. I’ve always been drawn to retro details with a modern edge — pieces that feel like they've lived a life but are ready for yours.

Family and Friends

I’m endlessly grateful for my roots — and the people who ground me. I grew up just outside of Nashville in Kentucky, where bourbon, basketball, and horses are more than hobbies — they’re legacy. I now run companies across Kentucky, a place I’ll always call home. My friends and family keep me honest, inspired, and laughing — like at a beach barbecue with music playing and stories being passed around like plates. That sense of connection — warm, real, and untamed — is the heartbeat of everything I do.

Driftshop Relic

Driftshop Relic is more than a brand — it’s a lifestyle space where ancient meets the infinite. It was born from my passion for vintage design, soulful craftsmanship, and offbeat creativity. I’ve always been drawn to things that feel both storied and stylish — like a relic with a future. This shop reflects that: a blend of old-school grit and new-school edge. Every piece tells a story, invites a feeling, or sparks curiosity. It’s for those who live boldly, dress freely, and never stop seeking what’s real.

Thank you for being here. I’m excited to share this journey — and this brand — with you.
