Tortoise and Pearl is not your average vintage and artisan goods boutique. With products carefully handpicked or designed by owner Diana Allaman, the shop gives off a youthful, hippie vibe. Customers should be prepared to share their shopping wish list with Allaman and her staff, who will make it their mission to find everything you hope to find.

What stands out most about this carefree boutique is the clothing. While market-bought goods are great, Allaman’s true talent may lie in her ability to turn vintage textiles or secondhand clothing into fabulously rustic wares, all in the name of helping customers find their style. These pieces are made from a variety of materials from silks to all natural fibers, and offer customers quirky patterns and brightly colored fabrics. Allaman’s personal touch is evident in the bohemian, casual dresses and blouses, all of which possess a free flowing and wispy design. To complete your new look, pair a dress with one of Tortoise and Pearl’s handmade scarves that are light enough to be worn even in the summertime. To receive the ultimate shopping experience and a guarantee of discovering more about your personal style, stop by Tortoise and Pearl.
