FASHION FIND IN LAGUNA BEACH
Erin Ashley, a destination boutique for women in Laguna Beach, packs a lot of style and panache in 300 square feet of space. And as an added bonus, Erin Ashley plans on opening a men’s store next door in October that will exclusively carry Theory.
Co-owners and mother-and-daughter duo, Sue Palmer and Erin Esancy, provide in-the-know fashionistas with exclusive lines. Erin is a former Saks Fifth Avenue visuals talent who has an eye for design and merchandising. She has a knack for spotting fashion must-haves. Her apparel has subsequently appeared in Vogue, on "The OC," "Live with Regis and Kelly" and "Desperate Housewives."
Look for shirts with fun details by Switch, cute cardigans and soft hoodies by Charlotte Tarantola, hand-painted leather by June, sexy camis by Hale Bob.
Denim lines include Jelessy jeans from the original designer of Jordache that fit well and come in great colors; and Infusion, Switch’s denim line with great detailing.
Local artists featured include jewelry by Karen MacDonald and vibrant hand-painted silk scarves by Jim Nussbaum.
Perfect for fall are La Chica Chic’s glittery handbags and belts; and featured in W magazine, Gayle Saari’s dog tags in sterling with double platinum overlay.
But incredible fashions are not all that Erin Ashley specializes in. Erin and Sue treat you to top-quality personal service. They’ll remember your name, your fashion likes and dislikes, and like personal shoppers they’ll help build your wardrobe. Erin Ashley doesn’t sell apparel just to sell it.
A constant rotation of merchandise keeps Erin Ashley fresh. If you like something, don’t ponder whether to buy it. Merchandise sells quickly.
Open 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Monday through Saturday. 1854 S. Coast Hwy. in Laguna Beach. 949.715.2530.
