MAHER, the highly anticipated women’s
boutique on Hope Street has arrived, and it
was worth the wait. The crack team of Amber Caplan and Blain Neyman have crafted an appealing selection of quality items
for the creative woman who gravitates towards a contemporary, polished look.
The name is Amber’s mother’s maiden
name. The store is a soothing, understated
combination of white and natural woods
with an accent wall of custom marble paper. The clothes racks are fashioned out
of lucite rods with gold-toned joints that
spotlight the merchandise. An abundance
of natural light and a heroic-sized mirror
enhance the space.
Curated from top Australian, European and
U.S. labels, (Zuluand Zephyr, Alexis, Banner Day and Benjamin Jay and others) the
store offers a spectrum of separates that
will appeal to a variety of tastes and body
types. Prices range from $8 -$10 for paper
goods, $70 for tops, $200 for a dress and
$800 for a leather jacket. These are quality items meant to be kept as wardrobe
staples. Though the plan is to buy seasonally, many of their resources have monthly
shipments, which means new items will
arrive on a weekly basis. The merchandise
is so on point it is as though you walked
into your midsummer dream closet. Shoes,
sunglasses, hats and handbags can finish
a look while fragrances, candles, beach
towels, stationery items and headphones
make for excellent gifts.
