Coco Shop is an Antiguan brand that was founded in 1949 by siblings Pat Starr and Amos Morrill. Started as a crafts table in the island's capital of St. John's, its goal was to give local artists a place to sell their work. In 1952, Starr and Morrill moved business to a coconut brown, West Indian home on St. Mary's Street in St. John's. Amos was the artist, drawing by hand many of Coco Shop's prints, while Pat ran the company's operations, overseeing its seamstresses and sales. Over 60 years of business, Coco Shop became a beloved Antiguan company. One employee dedicated her entire life to the store, working all 68 years of its existence.
