Little Words Have Big Meaning At New Tampa Personalized Bracelet Shop

The Little Words Project has joined the growing mix of women-owned businesses at Hyde Park Village.

TAMPA, FL — With graduation season here, a new shop debuting in Tampa's Hyde Park Village has a variety of personalized gifts for the new grad.

The creator of the original word bracelet, Little Words Project has joined Hyde Park Village’s robust mix of women-owned businesses. Customers can shop for a wide assortment of bracelets, personalize selections at the store’s beading table, an on-site customization bar and limited-edition merchandise. In addition, a carefully curated selection of home goods, wellness and beauty items exclusively from female-owned businesses are available.

Owner Adriana Carrig founded Little Words Project after experiencing bullying throughout her life. She wanted to find a way to promote kindness and self-love, and started making bracelets for her sorority to do just that. Her passion project turned into a successful business, with exponential growth over the past few years across e-commerce, wholesale and new retail channels.
