Owl Say Designs began in 2009 with the goal to provide stylish, quality travel gear at inexpensive prices. The best of inventions are created by necessity and our story is no different. OSD was inspired by a traveling husband, a baby with acid reflux and a need to protect a passport. Inspiration isn't always glamourous, right!?

From 2009-2015, OSD dominated the Etsy market with affordable vinyl products and travel goods. Our matching passport covers and vinyl tags were featured on numerous travel blogs. Our signature OSD Travel Clutches were featured in publications within the US and from Canada to Hong Kong. We brokered behind-the-scene deals with multiple travel agencies providing them with custom passport covers, luggage tags and travel wallets.

We were having the time of our lives!

During that same time period, two new babies were added to the OSD family. Kelley began homeschooling and also working part-time in church ministry. Finally, Kelley discovered that *ideas* couldn't be copyrighted and that while imitation may be the sincerest form of flattery, it also makes a big dent in your pocketbook. OSD made a valiant effort selling supplies to their competitors under a different business name. While this was very satisfying, the OSD family eventually made the hard decision to close up shop and reexamine our priorities. We even terminated our deals with our travel agency partners.

But the dream never left...it lingered, always present, waiting for the right moment to re-emerge.

In 2022, OSD returned to the scene to live out the dream. The OSD boys are teens and preteens (well, one *baby* who thinks he's a preteen). They have traveled and have ideas of their own to improve OSD's line. We remained committed to offering quality products at affordable prices.
