Greer's OC

Indie boutique shopping is where it’s at, especially at Shop L. Hermann in Newport Beach. At L. Hermann you’ll experience the exact opposite of the worst of major department store experiences.

And mention Greer’s OC and you’ll receive a free item from the sale rack with the purchase of a regular priced item.

Owner Laurie Hermann takes the guess-work out of shopping. She offers well-edited fashions, not endless racks of apparel to sift through. You can receive personal attention that you want, and you’ll save time and money. Laurie can help you find your natural style—whether you need a perfect tee or a special occasion dress.

She carries local and European designers that are consistently chic, and she knows exactly how they’ll wash and wear. She just received Seaton, a line of darling swimwear cover-ups. She carries LA-based denim Babakul from Kym Gold, the former co-founder and co-owner of True Religion. And she has Sharon Segal (Fred Segal’s daughter), Rebel Yell, Bread and Butter, Tylie Malibu, Surfmonk, Itty Bitty Bra, Denim of Virtue, Stacia, For Joseph, and Alkemie jewelry made from recycled metals. Prices range from $16 for a pair of shorts to $700 for a leather handbag.  Open 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. 357 N. Old Newport Blvd. 949.378.7741.
