"Historic New Preston has quickly become a serious shopping destination thanks in part to recently opened Plain Goods. Tucked away from the blink-and-you’ll-miss-it main drag in a tiny whitewashed cottage, the shop is an ode to life’s simpler pleasures: home furnishings, clothing, accessories, and beauty products in a pared-down palette of natural textures and neutral hues. If that sounds boring, it’s anything but—from handmade cross-body pouches in burnished caramel leather to sleek stoneware containers to vintage French linens in washed-out plaids to essential-oil infused moisturizers in tinted glass bottles by Honest, the tightly curated assortment is the stuff of minimalist dreams." - Christina Pérez, Jessie Heyman
