We have come to love the historical vernacular of the area and the type of design work it invites; restorations that honor the architecture, interiors with at mix of classic and contemporary pieces that provide a relaxed yet sophisticated coastal style. We love spending time in Chester and are thrilled to be opening a second shop to showcase our classic look…. This time representing the very best of seaside living.”

In addition to the designer brands, both shops feature tableware, carpets, art, books, accessories and one-of-a-kinds collected during travels abroad. Every item has been meticulously selected for its timeless beauty, its exceptional quality and its enduring value.
