About

EAST - WEST - EAST

A New England native, Alison Supple Evans spent 20 years cultivating her creative side in San Francisco. After a decade in the interiors field, she joined her musician-husband on a world tour. While the others were checking out museums, Alison was dashing into every apothecary, scooping up armfuls of natural, innovative skincare. This newfound obsession blossomed into the creation of Supple in Berkeley, California.  

After several years at the helm of her first successful venture, the east coast was calling. Alison was bound for the shores of Cape Cod and found the perfect Mother/Daughter team to carry on what she had started out west. Supple Berkeley still thrives today and these independent owners are bi-coastal collaborators and dear friends.

Alison merged her west coast aesthetic with east coast sensibility and opened Supple Orleans. Her new spot was fully embraced and quickly became part of the fabric that makes up an evolving, pastoral community. Locals and visitors alike place Supple high on their list and Alison is lovingly referred to as the Skincare Guru of the sandbar.

“There's a feeling of excitement when you stumble upon something that has quality and integrity but also approachability and ease. Sourcing products and designing treatments are both personal for me and I rely mainly on instincts and experience. When you're being true to yourself and people respond positively, that's the best place you can be.”
