Loyal Supply Co. is a design firm, retailer, and distributor of goods for the home, office, and studio. We believe in useful, thoughtfully designed products that make life more enjoyable. We work by the motto Supplies for Life. To us, this means objects worth keeping by your side for life.  We are very particular about the products we carry and the goods we design.

 

We strive to supply items that are as enjoyable to view as they are to use. Our offerings are built to provide lasting service, and longer memories. We look at every potential item through two filters: utility and design. Each product has a use and needs to be able to perform its duty. We also value the design and appearance of our collection. Our store combines home and work. We work hard, but we also value our time away from the office. Loyal’s collection reflects that notion, offering the required materials to literally go fly a kite. Our compilation of items is always evolving, changing with seasons, needs and community interests.  

Kimberly

Growing up in Vermont and Michigan, Kimberly Habbyshaw has a deep appreciation for small-batch making and manufacturing. She has a love for all things paper and is the owner and operator of the 1911 printing press Loyal showcases. Kimberly is the primary buyer and works with makers and manufacturers all over the country and world to ensure Loyal is well-stocked with premium goods. When she's not behind the counter running the show, she's hiking with Huck or spending time at the barn with her horse. A self-professed animal lover, she keeps the store stocked with a never-ending supply of dog treats for all four-legged visitors. 

Ryan

The creative force behind Loyal is Ryan Habbyshaw. With over ten years of design experience, Ryan created the Loyal Supply Co. branding. After spending four years working at product design firm IDEO, Ryan continues to design everyday, often with local manufacturers to produce Loyal’s own line of goods. He also works with other businesses, consulting on design and marketing. Ryan is always on the hunt for new and interesting products to feature in the store. He can be found in the workshop most days. His bench is always busy with projects and prototypes.

Huckleberry

A snuggler and a snoozer, Huckleberry is the Loyal product tester, inspiration, and cheerleader. After adopting Huck, a pointer/hound mix, in 2013 Ryan and Kim decided they needed to make a lifestyle change to spend more time doing things they enjoyed. In this case, spending time with their dog. His name and looks are classic, yet he helps push Loyal's design to be simple and modern. Huckleberry's skills include: finding the perfect sunny spot to nap in, receiving attention and love from anyone willing to play, finding weaknesses in dog toy prototypes, and looking super cute in a motorcycle sidecar. 

Our Workshop & Store

Workshops can be in kitchens, garages, and living rooms, sometimes even the bathroom. Trust us, that’s where our shops were before we moved to Union Square Somerville. The space doesn’t dictate the classification, the work does. If you're making something, whether it be cakes, candles, or cars you have a workshop. People with workshops are our heroes, without you we wouldn't have products. We recognize that behind each and every product is a workshop and a whole lot of passion. So, we decided to design our store like one.

The space itself is a modern take on a pegboard workshop, featuring a functional and utilized printing press. Inspired by traditional machine shops where the large machine, our Chandler & Price printing press, is located in the middle of the space surrounded by the smaller tools.

Below the retail floor lies a workshop, the production space for prototyping and producing all of the goods Loyal Supply Co. creates. Above houses our office where we research, draw, and design our products.

Loyal Supply Co. is located in Union Square Somerville Massachusetts, a town historically known for its factories. Today most of those factories are gone but the passion for making is still alive and well in the community. We continually work with local craftspeople to build brands and help build our community.
