261 Lafayette Circle, Lafayette
Last June I noted that J. Colleen Boutique would be opening in September in downtown Lafayette where Queen Bee used to be and opening day will be this coming Monday, September 2nd according to a sign in their window. Thanks to a reader for letting me know about the new signage.
From their website:
J. Colleen Boutique is an upscale women’s clothing, jewelry, and gift boutique that will open in September of 2013. We are a special blend of the posh, chic shopping experience of Barneys New York with the treasures of high-end designer consignment. Many of our products will be made from materials found locally and/or sourced from other conscious artists. We will also be offering vintage designer wear.
Local artists, as well as artisans from around the world, will make many of the products that we will be carrying at J. Colleen Boutique. Gift items such as jewelry, upscale vintage-ware, photography, and original artwork will be showcased once a month in a private reception for the artist, their family, and friends. As there are no other shops or boutiques in Lafayette with such an array of artisans, we see a perfect opening to introduce this style of visual and mercantile experience.
Interestingly the owner Julie Rubio is a movie director and producer. Check out her IMDB page here.
