About Us

Welcome to my Shopify store! My name is Helen Spallas. I've been an entrepreneur on and off all of my life--having owned businesses ranging from a private detective agency, to tax preparation, to making and selling soaps, candles, and handcrafted pressed wildflower bookmarks at farmer's markets.

In 2014, I taught myself Photoshop so I could create my own designs. I took the leap into the eCommerce world, selling T-shirts on a T-shirt only platform called Teespring.

The Agape Shoppe made its debut on Etsy in 2018, and I specialize in personalized products. I currently have over 25 different products in my shop. My store has consistently made over 6 figures for the last 5 years. My Etsy shop is ranked in the top 1% in the entire world.

My Shopify store will consist of a variety of non personalized apparel for babies, youth, and adults, and will include tshirts, hoodies, pajama pants, socks, aprons, and hats. I will also be offering pillows and tea towels. For personalized products, please check out my Etsy shop here: www.Etsy.com/shop/agapeshoppeco

HOW I CAME UP WITH MY SHOP NAME

I am a second generation Greek immigrant. Agape is the Greek word for love. Agape love is selfless, sacrificial, unconditional love. It is the highest of the four kinds of love.

So whether it’s work, play, school, motherhood or fatherhood, Agape is rooted in all aspects of life. Live, Laugh, Love!

I live in sunny Arizona, but I am originally from Wisconsin. I am an aspiring author, working on my first nonfiction book. I love country music, playing cards & cribbage, Dateline crime show marathons, creating designs, reading historical fiction, researching paranormal & hanging with Henry, my pup.
