Shop Till You Drop

Boutiques of all types are delivering variety and hipness to the Main Line.

Tina Corrado, owner of Posh Collections in Malvern (Photos by Luigi Ciuffetelli)You’d think that having one of the nation’s largest, most sophisticated malls right around the corner would make it tough for the little guys. Yet Main Line boutiques are not only surviving, they’re thriving—thanks to personalized service, unique presentation, and up-to-the-minute fashions from New York, Los Angeles and Europe. Here are some highlights and new additions to the area, along with a list of our favorites.

For even more great boutiques, see our complete directory.

PHAZE Plus Size Boutique  Forget everything you knew about plus-size women’s wear; there’s nothing boxy, matronly or remotely tent-like in this fashion-forward boutique. A firm believer that beauty comes in all shapes and sizes, Phaze owner Danielle Charles knows that a size-16 woman who’s confident and celebrates her full figure should have the same choices as a size 6. Most of her merchandise is private label, and Charles is also starting her own line aimed at the edgier plus-size woman. Those who aren’t quite ready to take the plunge into more revealing styles might reconsider when they discover her Body Magic undergarments, which take a woman down two dress sizes. Charles also does wardrobe consulting for the style challenged or anyone looking to improve an existing wardrobe. 153 Bala Ave., Bala Cynwyd; (610) 664-2520, phazeboutique.com.

Revivals Consignment Boutique   A Good Samaritan with a fabulous eye for fashion, Revivals owner Robin Shuntich has been outfitting discerning, budget-conscious Main Line women in Armani, Chanel, Gucci, Kenneth Cole, Prada, Ralph Lauren, St. John, Trina Turk and other top names for 13-plus years—and at prices that make you want to shout, “Such a deeeal!” Jackie O fans and other period-savvy shoppers will go gaga over the trove of wonderful and unique finds—unique pieces like a mink cape and oversized mink scarf, both utterly sinful and heavenly to the touch. We loved the gorgeous Czechoslovakian necklaces spotted on a recent visit. Shoes also abound here, as do handbags, scarves, necklaces, belts and furs. 258 Haverford Ave., Narberth; (610) 660-8119, revivalsboutique.com.

That Special Look  For 25 years, mother-daughter team Arlene Ginsburg and Carol Blum have made it their mission to spread their “special looks” up and down the Main Line. Among their boutique’s most prominent offerings is handcrafted, one-of-a-kind jewelry selected by the owners to coordinate with the season’s styles. Described by Blum as “soft” dressing, it’s all about layering and an eye for details like cluster pins, scarves, slim lines, higher rises and loads of color. Reds, blues, purples and oranges line the walls and racks, along with a hefty selection of won’t-break-the-bank sweaters in cropped, bracelet-sleeve, long and short designs—plus sweater wraps for instant warmth. If you’ve got any traveling to do this fall (or just had a baby), Krazy Larry’s easy-care elastic-waistband pants are a must. 288 Montgomery Ave., Bala Cynwyd, (610) 664-5466.

Katye K Boutique  Hardly a wallflower, this recent addition to the Main Line shopping scene packs a serious punch in its first fall season. Ladies won’t be able to resist the latest handbags from Kooba in funky yet practical styles and yummy colors, or the racy “Morning After” and “Morning After Mini” lines from Rebecca Minkoff. Owner Katye Stanzak is offering lots of street-wear separates that make a statement while going from day to evening with ease—must-haves like Tucker’s printed silk tops and tunics, which stand up alone or look great with skinny jeans and heels. 510 Lancaster Ave., Haverford; (610) 525-5552, katyek.com.

Knit Wit  Thirty-five years, and Knit Wit hasn’t missed a beat in keeping up with the latest trends and designers. Much of what you find here is ahead of the curve and not widely available—which, of course, is part of the fun. This fall, it’s oversized, metallic, iridescent handbags from Sissi Rossi and Carlos Falchi, tunic dresses and skirts from Calypso, Paul Smith accessories, and an abundance of sumptuous, colorful sweaters from Missoni and other hot designers. Long gloves are a perfect complement to this season’s ubiquitous bracelet-sleeve style—and you’ll find plenty of those at Knit Wit. 905 W. Lancaster Ave., Bryn Mawr; (484) 592-0576, knitwitonline.com.

Latrice  As you’re driving along Lancaster Avenue, it’s easy to be distracted by the extensive window dressing at Latrice. A reliable source for high-end eveningwear, mother-of-the-bride (or groom) dresses and bar/bat mitzvah attire, Latrice is also revered by in-the-know Main Line women for its sportswear offerings and expert wardrobe consulting. Attentive customer service is one of the hallmarks of its success, as is shunning extreme looks in favor of clean, classic lines with just a hint of edginess. 1024 W. Lancaster Ave., Bryn Mawr, (610) 525-1109.

Ooh-la-la Boutique in Bryn MawrOoh-la-la Boutique  We all know that walking into a boutique can be scary. Sometimes it’s the pretentious salesgirl, but mostly its the anticipated sticker shock. So it’s a good sign when the first thing you see at Ooh-la-la Boutique costs less than $100—and it’s a dress, not a baby tee. Reasonable prices are one of the main reasons many Main Liners love shopping at Ooh-la-la—that, along with its hospitable vibe and classic styles. Clothing wise, you’ll find a surplus of separates, with some dressier holiday attire, belts, scarves, handbags, sunglasses and intriguing jewelry mixed in. Current inventory includes lines from Babette, one of Ooh-la-la’s more exclusive designers; colorful, avant-garde looks from Gender Bias; high-fashion outerwear by Samuel Dong; and much more. 1040 W. Lancaster Ave., Bryn Mawr; (610) 520-9700, oohlalabrynmawr.com.

Jon Segal, owner of Pants in Bryn MawrPants  Females up and down the Main Line are celebrating the birth of Skirt’s younger, second-floor neighbor. The aptly named Pants has given a much-needed boost to a shopping scene that has surprisingly few men’s clothing options. High-end yet casual, Pants makes New York style easily accessible to the Main Line’s golf shirt-sporting husbands and boyfriends. An impressive list of big names takes guys from casual Friday straight through the weekend. The lineup includes Theory, AG Jeans, 7 for All Mankind (denim and a complete fashion line), Splendid Mills, Howe, Lacoste, Takel, Special Services, Art of Shaving and Lois Hill. And new labels are being added all of the time—especially during fall, fashion’s busiest season. It’s about time our men had somewhere to go besides the mall. Right, ladies? 931 Lancaster Ave., second floor, Bryn Mawr; (610) 527-6900, shop-pants.com.

Bedazzled Boutique  If you haven’t yet discovered Bedazzled Boutique, you’re in for a treat. With an eclectic mix of funky rocker apparel, eveningwear and tons of jeans, it’s a place where moms and daughters can shop together. This fun, offbeat store’s girlier items aren’t for the fashion-shy—which is exactly why the place is so cool. For the ladies, Bedazzled features gowns and cocktail dresses from Kablan, Badgley Mischka and Marc Bouwer. 206 S. Newtown Square Road, Newtown Square; (610) 359-1707, bedazzledboutique.com.

Seven Stones  This “cowboys and Indians” store has found a niche peddling authentic Native American jewelry and western apparel. Who cares what the fashionistas say: Every girl needs a pair of rockin’ cowboy boots—and this is definitely the place to find a pair with flair. If you’re into Native American music, Seven Stones has the largest collection on the East Coast, along with semiprecious stones and jewelry. Moccasins are another draw, as well as leather jackets (with or without fringes), belts, wallets and embellished, textured handbags. 212 W. State St., Media; (610) 627-1177, sevenstonesgallery.com.

Sorella Boutique  With Delaware County blood running through their veins, sisters Charlene Mulholland and Jeanine Sherry have a pretty good grasp of what their clientele want in their closets—and where a boutique owner has to go to get it. Most of their finds come from the West Coast, a favorite shopping destination of these sibs, who stock their popular boutique with clothes that are less conservative than what you typically find on the Main Line. Along with big names, Sorella stocks newer lines like Sworn Virgins, eco-friendly clothing made from bamboo. Stay ahead of jewelry trends with gorgeous, colorful necklaces in delicate and chunky designs from Robert Rose, Charles Albert and Smart Glass. Also check out the unique handmade jewelry embellished with pearls and semiprecious stones. 23 E. State St., Media; (610) 566-2393, sorellashop.com.

Hot this season: plush, long sweaters with cropped sleeves, layered with long-sleeve tees and turtlenecks. Shin Choi and Whim are among those leading this trend, with soft yarns spun into styles that transform Saturday-afternoon street wear into Saturday-night chic—and business attire into something far more hip. And don’t be shocked by the sudden inundation of knit pants from the likes of Vince; their clean lines are designed to complement all those cozy car sweaters they’ll be layered under. White is still a great look for fall—and if you want to make a statement, A.B.S. has an ivory “pea” dress that looks fabulous paired with a black turtleneck and tall boots. 103 E. King St., (610) 644-7220, poshcollections.com.

Sizes range from 10/12 to 3x, allowing flexibility for those who need a smaller size on top and a larger size below (or vice versa). For many women, the best part about this customer-friendly shop is its abundance of plus-size designer denim: Six-plus
brands in several styles and washes are typically on hand. 100 E. Lancaster Ave., (610) 688-4933, freshayer.com.

Polished Spa & Boutique by Marina  Tucked inside one of our favorite nail salons and spas, this tiny boutique makes the most of its close quarters. Owner Marina Selverian’s mom is the creative force behind many of the gorgeous pieces of jewelry— intricate and delicate works of art crafted with coral, turquoise, Swarovski crystals, pearls, jade and amethyst. If you love pretty lingerie but still long for the comforts of cozy cotton, search no further—Dana Passara’s unfussy but feminine line of Italian lingerie comes in cotton-silk blends, minimally adorned with ribbon and lace. Kobo soy candles, Latico handbags, imported serving trays from France, European diffusers, ornate picture frames and additional wearable trinkets from MADIS Jewels are among the other great finds. 221 Conestoga Road, Suite 100, (610) 688-4181.

South Moon Under in WayneSouth Moon Under  Everyone knows that South Moon Under is one of the best places on the Main Line to score a hot bikini, even in the middle of winter. But it’s also one of the best places to find last-minute outfits and that tie-it-all-together belt, jacket or piece of jewelry. If you’re not sure what trends to follow these days, this is a good place to test the waters. Hot duds for fall include cropped swing jackets layered with high-waisted pencil skirts and ruffled, bold-colored tops by Ali Ro. Statement necklaces by David Aubrey and Yochi, with lots of stones and pearls, are perfect with a frilly top or even to dress up a simple turtleneck. For men, the trend is toward more casual looks—like Adidas track jackets worn over a graphic tee by RVCA, Obey or Tailgate; zip-up hoodies from Ben Sherman and Billabong; and fitted boot-cut jeans. 205 W. Lancaster Ave., Wayne; (610) 964-9064, southmoonunder.com.

Fashion Forte  This new kid on the block delivers an unpretentious, low-pressure shopping experience, not to mention hip jeans and handbags for under $100. Shier ladies will appreciate styles that leave a little to the imagination in the skin department. You’re not going to find anything too way-out or dressy. But in keeping with the times, there are plenty of smart belts and pieces for layering, along with trendy, reasonably priced By Boe earrings (worn by Cameron Diaz), bags by Big Buddha, LinQ cotton tees and more. 129 E. Gay St., (610) 429-2998.

Malena’s Unique Boutique  If you love vintage (and vintage-inspired) clothing and you’ve never been to Malena’s, you’re missing out. Gucci, Hermes, Louis Vuitton, Steady, Sourpuss, Bang Bang Baby and Nicole Rae Styer are just some of the names you’ll find. This season, size does matter: big, chunky jewelry is in. And while you might not be able to afford the brooches in the fashion magazines this fall, you can steal the look with a little help from Malena Martinez. Of course, not all of us can work our closets the way Martinez can, which is why her wardrobe consulting business (a deal at $50/hour) is taking off. Her mission: update, coordinate and eliminate—all within your budget and lifestyle. 145 W. Gay St., (610) 738-9952, malenasboutique.com.

Nich  This quaint shop covers a wide range of styles for women and men—unique and a little offbeat, but mainstream enough to entice a wide mix of customers. Each of the Nich’s three rooms is unique: The first is warm and feminine with soft colors and art nouveau accents; the guys’ space is more industrial; and the fitting room feels like your grandmother’s living room, with sunny yellow walls and lots of framed photos. You’ll appreciate owner Kristy Mak’s eye for sexy, sassy, flirty dresses. Handbags by Sunburst, Funtote and Helen Rochfort, caps and chokers from Goorin, and earrings by Foxy round out the offerings. The menswear is casual but edgy, with jeans that won’t break the bank, graphic tees, button-down shirts and track jackets. 29 S. High St., (610) 436-8181, shopnich.com.

Revue Boutique & Gallery  West Chester’s newest boutique shouts New York with some of the funkiest finds in town, including Brooklyn-made Planet of the Apes tees for guys and sassy resin jewelry with such bold statements as “Friday is casual sex day.” Retro with a green hue, Revue’s inventory is 100-percent handmade, much of it from recycled items (think tumblers made from old beer bottles). Owner Catherine Sami is still bringing in new things every day, so you never know what you’ll walk out with. 138 E. Gay St., (610) 918-4402, revueboutiquegallery.com.

The sweaters by Mint, Twig and Adam are not your average sweaters—complete with ruffles, rosettes and lots of detail. Match your new sweater with a pair of filigree earrings by KEP Designs, tights and boots, and you’ll be turning heads up and down the Main Line. Spread Eagle Village, Strafford, (610) 420-3074.

La Petite Femme  Ladies 5-foot-4 and under know that the secret to looking good around the ’hood comes wrapped in a bag from La Petite Femme. This Haverford Square mainstay is a great source for separates, career pieces and fashions for stepping out. Far from dowdy, La Petite Femme styles balance contemporary with classic. You’ll find both trendy designers—such as Nic and Zoey, Lily, David Brooks, Suzi Roher, Calvin Klein and Eileen Fisher—and denim from Not Your Daughter’s Jeans, Cambio and Vitamina. Also a great resource for shapewear, La Petite Femme carries Sassy Bax bras and panties.

This fall, ankle booties are hot, as are over-the-knee and thigh-high styles, all of which you’ll find here.

One of the Main Line’s best-kept secrets for daywear, you’ll find racks of trendy and traditional lines to suit any mood and occasion. Suede and leather are also sizzling this season, especially when gussied up with grommets and other embellishments, as is day-to-evening career wear trimmed with lots of detail to give you more bang for your buck. Tweeds are being mixed with feathers, ribbons and beads, and hems are moving south. For a taste of L.A., pick up a Pally handbag (sold in Fred Segal and other fashionable L.A. stores). 511 W. Lancaster Ave., Wayne, (610) 687-8825, christasclassics.net.

Linda Golden  Knits, statement pieces, flowers and feathers are on Linda Golden’s hot list this season—and on her shelves and hangers, which leaves you with little excuse not to be dressed in style. With cozy comforts like Moncler’s puff coats, you can be stylish and warm. Best of all, it’s one-stop-shopping head to toe, from dainty (and sultry) undergarments to scarves and handbags. Golden helps customers stay ahead of the trends with “new arrival” e-mails and trunk shows like October’s 1970s and ’80s vintage jewelry show.
