Souvenirs & Mementos
Lala
1145 South Coast Highway | (949) 464-9220
Stepping into Kerry Cassill’s Lala feels like being admitted to the bedroom of your grade school best friend’s impossibly cool older sister. Her lively collection of light-as-air prints feel washed in sunshine, and essentially ‘Laguna’. The line’s accessories, linens and clothing are featured alongside a sublime edit including the likes of Eres, Mother denim, Inhabit and Kai, and the surprise ocean view from the bungalow boutique’s back porch encourages you to linger longer.
Laguna Supply
210 Beach Street | (949) 497-8850
One of the area’s best boutiques is a slight, spare space, all the better to let sartorial stars like Etoile Isabel Marant, Rag & Bone, Clare V. and Ulla Johnson shine. The go-to when you need a little something special for Saturday night or just want to replenish your window shopping wish list, Laguna Supply is a a shopping destination easily navigated and enjoyed.
Tuvalu
295 Forest Avenue | (949) 497-3202
Like walking into a chic cartographer’s quarters in a shipyard of decor treasures, Tuvalu welcomes with weathered wood displays and under-the-sea accents. There are cozy nooks stuffed with marine-colored throw pillows and plenty of cute gifts, art and furnishings to occupy the better part of an hour.
The Shop
1020 South Coast Highway | (949) 715-8308
The Shop is a luxe little dream catcher-draped bohemia that feels pleasantly more like a weekend beach house than a retail store. Sand-ready separates play nicely with patterned bikinis and brightly colored Ruby Mint towels, and the sunny service from a longtime Laguna local adds a personal touch.
Camps & Cottages
1231 North Pacific Coast Highway | (949) 494-2100
Like walking into the genteel end of a Lewis & Clark expedition, this one-of-a-kind home store instantly and utterly charms. Framed vintage California state flags share square footage with Pendelton blankets, miniature wooden canoes and Dash & Albert rugs. Found favorite candles from Voyage et Cie and an enviable antique French enamel collection only make it harder to depart.
Fetneh Blake
427 North Coast Highway | (949) 494-3787
Designer mecca owner Blake is a well-established retail queen, and her fashionable fingerprints are everywhere at her self-titled boutique. A keen eye for style hits from brands both established and on-the-rise has defined Fetneh Blake for well over a decade and thanks to an endless stream of flawless French imports, we don’t see her dominance diminishing any time soon.
