What a discovery! Today my girlfriend Kim and I went out to
lunch (headed back to Petals and Pastries since I really wanted to try more
than the coffee…good call, my sandwich was quite tasty and the pumpkin donut
was over-the-top delish!). I shared with Kim my quest for going to a different
place every work day and she’s onboard roaming the streets of Carmel with me
whenever she is available.
For a couple days now I’ve been eyeing this interesting
looking boutique tucked way back in this cute patio/courtyard area. One of the
challenges of a small town like Carmel is shops don’t always keep normal
business hours and the boutique I scoped out for the day was closed. But no
worries – this one closed shop led to the discovery of the shop next door. A
shop that I had no idea even existed: Foxy Couture.
Foxy Couture is located in Mission Patio #5 (OK, need to
stop right here. “Mission Patio #5?” – I’ve lived in Carmel for more than 16
years and didn’t even know the patio’s have numbers!!!!). Basically the shop is
off Mission between 5th and 6th – you won’t see it from
the street, you need to head in to the patio area to see the front door.
Foxy Couture is a shop specializing in pre-owned luxury
goods: Hermes, Chanel, Bottega Veneta, Louis Vuitton, Gucci, and more… This is
a must stop if you love throw-back vintage dresses, bags, shoes and jewelry.
The vibe in the shop is somewhat magical – almost like being inside a treasure
chest. We were short on time today and both decided we need to go back and
really spend some time quality in the shop. A hidden treasure indeed.
