Shop Local: Our Favorite Things Boutique Focuses On Fair Trade
Owner Lisa McGuthry stocks her Larchmere boutique with items she tried and loved.
She also only stocks ethically sourced and fair trade items purchased directly from creators and manufacturers, which ensures that artisans are paid for their craft. Staples include flowy, bohemian-inspired jumpsuits and dresses from Indian brands Rising Tide and Sacred Threads, as well as closer-to-home labels such as Lauryn’s Tees, a line of inspirationally themed T-shirts made by McGuthry’s teenage daughter.
Clothing runs up to a size 32, though many pieces come in a billowy “free size” designed to fit a variety of body types. The brightly colored shop is lined with other self-care items, too, from candles and journals to skincare and jewelry. “We really want to make you look, feel and be amazing,” McGuthry says. “It’s all about wearable art and boosting your self-esteem.”
An Item We Love: Wash your cares away with Sugar and Scrubs, a line of exfoliants and body butters made by McGuthry’s close friend, Ayanna Cooper. The Breathe Easy sugar scrub ($10) bursts with eucalyptus, lime and coconut.
