There are countless shops in New Orleans, and a million different ways to spend your money. But SCSC is different and special—it’s a gorgeous boutique owned and curated by two local women who are warm and attentive and discerning, and who obviously care as much about their clientele as they do about the clothing, jewelry, and home decor they carry. Most of what you’ll see is designed by women from around the world, or it’s fabulous vintage (sometimes reimagined, Mardi-Gras style). Everything is fun and colorful and unique, and the jewelry is amazing. I’ll never forget when I was at a restaurant in Massachusetts and a woman at the next table over pointed to my necklace. “Is that a Saint Claude piece?” she asked. Then we had a little gush-fest about how much we both adore SCSC. I take all my visiting friends to this lovely little local shop, and they always leave with some new beautiful something—and a little more bounce in their step.
