The local pinnacle of trendy boho goods and clothing, among the influential crossroads of Anthropologie, ModCloth and Free People, prevails Mercantile Home & Apparel. The contemporarily earthy boutique, nuzzled at the center of Main Street, paints a woodland wonderland from its walls lined with timber bookshelves, decorative canvases and branch jewelry holders, to its succulent tea lights and plant terrariums suspended from the ceiling. Both modish and endearingly quirky merchandise alike coruscate from nearly every square inch of the store, providing customers with an ampleness to peruse and pull interior design inspiration.

Mercantile’s storefront introduces you with home decor, jewelry, gifts and curio, such as coffee table books, embroidered pillows, Turkish towels, rustic kitchen utensils, marble plates, gift kits and more—the inventory appears infinite. A collection of dish towels lines several shelves of the stores, all individually stitched with cutesy and witting sayings that will add a touch of spunk, whimsy and jocosity to the kitchen. As you proceed to the back, you’ll encounter Mercantile’s line of predominantly linen apparel. The 100% linen dresses, tops, ponchos, pants and skirts equip patrons with the lightest and most breathable of fabrics for the profound summertime heat. Perhaps one of Mercantile’s most distinctive items is the wooden puzzle serving board. Contrived from solid acacia wood and split into six puzzle pieces, the board provides guests at your next dinner party with the most interactively hip serving and sharing apparatus.
