Mélange mixes things up in Linden Square

Mélange has opened in Linden Square next to Magic Beans. The shopping collaborative is made up of three small businesses whose owners work together to create a unique, curated shopping experience. Well acquainted with Wellesley from doing a series of pop-ups around town, the owners are excited to have a more long-term place to land. We popped in to check out the scene, a nice mixture, indeed. Or as they say in France, a très bon mélange. They’ve also got a location in Osterville on Cape Cod.

  • 2 Webster: Melissa McCray  sources beautiful things and unique finds, perfect to make your house a home.
  • Hamilton Grace Designs: Dover resident Sarah Essex designs beautiful jewelry and handbags to complement everyday outfits as well as more formal ensembles.
  • Poppin In: Rachael Jilli’s chill blend of California, surf-inspired, casual clothing for adults and kids has washed up on the shores of Linden Square, which we think is just swell.
  • The Bar Top Shop: A capsule collection of vintage barware from the 1920s through the 1980s is coming soon.

Faherty brings good vibes to Wellesley Square

Family-owned retailer Faherty has opened in Wellesley Square at 50 Central St., adjacent to Lululemon. The lifestyle brand mostly has men’s, women’s, and kids’ clothing, with some candles and sustainably-sourced blankets thrown in for good measure. The interior offers a simple and rustic ambience with touches like a surfboard mounted on the wall, a ship’s wheel leaning casually on a shelf, and a mid-century modern console behind the register. They like to keep things casual or, as the manager phrased it, the store’s brand has experienced “10 years of good vibes.”
