Ah, A’Maree’s!

January 14, 2011

A’Maree’s the home of haute couture in OC since the ‘70s, is opening its doors Saturday at 10 a.m. for the start of its famed winter sale going on through Feb. 5. (In preparation they are closed today.) It’s your chance to find coveted, hand-selected designer apparel reduced 40 to 70%.

Looks can be deceiving at the grand A’Maree’s location (formerly Cano’s restaurant) on the Coast Highway in Newport Beach—it feels much larger than its Westcliff Court store, but actually is a few hundred square feet smaller. In its previous boutique A’Maree’s was bursting at the seams, taking up a mish mash of rooms to accommodate all of their apparel, shoes, jewelry and accessories. But now shopping is a pleasurable experience.

The new fabulous airy and light boutique features enormous dressing rooms, an open kitchen, bar and table to relax at, a waterfront patio, and its trademark: a stunning mix of designers hand-picked by the expert A’Maree’s team. Choose from Givenchy, Celine, Lanvin, Luisa Cevese Riedizioni, Azzedine Alaia, Marni Dries Van Noten, Eres, Lucien Pellat-Finet, Golden Goose, and many more. Home accessories include Alison Berger Glass, blankets and rugs from Turkey, and Dosa pillows.

Open 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday; 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Saturday; and noon to 5 p.m. Sunday.

2241 West Coast Highway, Newport Beach. 949.642.4423.

OC Can You Play?
