Andover’s La Mia Moda Boutique has a new pop-up shop in Wellesley. The store is located at 200 Linden St. Like the original boutique, this new store will sell European and American women’s fashion. According to owner Luis Nunez, some of the top designers currently featured include New York-based Rachel Comey, SEA NY, Lauren Manoogian, and European designers Lorena Antoniazzi, Gentry Portofino, and Rodebjer. The pop up will serve as the La Mia Moda base in Wellesley until a permanent location is ready for operation. For more information, visit www.lamiamodaboutique.com.
Sustainable Wellesley is looking for people who sew, both beginners and experts, to participate in community projects. The group is creating Japanese Furoshiki style cloths and reusable bags for a future community gift wrapping event. Interested residents can help by donating fabric, sewing Furoshiki cloths, or sewing bags. Flexible fabrics, measuring at least 20 square inches work best for donation and creating cloths. A free pattern for creating the bags can be found here. Residents are also welcome to organize or attend community sewing events to aid in the project. Email info@sustainablewellesley.com if you have fabric to donate, have completed a cloth or bag, or would like more information about sewing events.
