Eugénie, a new boutique founded by mother and daughter Kary and Sally Fuller, just opened at the newly renovated Mariners Mile Square in Newport Beach. The boutique curates designers and pieces that are hard to find, with each item purchased in limited quantities.
Newport Beach has a new home and interiors destination. Designer Shannon McLaren has opened Prairie at the newly renovated Mariners Square, next door to Eugénie, giving shoppers even more reasons to stop by this refreshed coastal hub. The shop reflects the same refined yet relaxed style that has defined her interior design studio for more than a decade. Inside, Prairie offers a curated mix of European antiques, contemporary pieces, original art, and accessories chosen with a designer’s eye. For the holidays, the shop features décor and gifts you will not see everywhere, including mini Birkin-like bags for dog waste bags, kitchen linens, organic Italian olive oils, Naomi luxury hand wash, Bauer Pottery, Christmas stockings, and more.
