Artemesia

My mother was visiting me from Cape Cod and we both went in to browse this past Saturday before I vended at Berkshire Busk. The linen in the window brought us in and 30 minutes later we left with multiple bags and new outfits! Nora helped us and she is excellent, knowledgable, helped explain the fit of the garments (linen can be a mixed bag if you don't know know what you're looking for). Fun fact: there was a large dragonfly just hanging out on one of the racks. Apparently he had been there all day. I also had an opportunity to follow up with the manager (for good reasons) and she was kind and very helpful! Highly recommend this shop not only for the clothes, but also the open airy layout, and the high level customer service.

Beautiful linen clothing for women, all locally made. Prices are very high, compared to standard department store prices, but in my opinion worth it (especially since it’s not made with sweatshop labor). Very flattering and flowy and comfortable. I used to avoid linen because it usually has such fussy cleaning instructions, but I machine-wash (on gentle) my Artemesia linen, and it comes out beautifully (and doesn’t shrink).

I’m pretty much obsessed with their entire line of clothing. Their linen is like nothing you have ever felt before. Every piece is so well designed and the quality is amazing. These are pieces that will live in your closet for many years.
