Capitola Girl Logo Products Now Available on Cafe Press
January 7, 2008. Louisa May Alcott, author of Little Women once said that "Far away there in the sunshine are my highest aspirations. I may not reach them, but I can look up and see their beauty, believe in them, and try to follow where they lead."
After Susan Nelson, founder of Capitola Girl Jewelry, started following her own aspirations, she searched for an emblem that would express Alcott's sentiments. The silhouette selected for the logo represents a woman's ability to live in harmony with herself and others. To Susan, being a Capitola Girl means being a woman who uses her strength wisely, and who always makes choices that are true to her heart. Above all, she embraces the power of all things girly.
