Love That Boutique Offers Stylish Trends at Affordable Prices

Located in the Winthrop Town Center, the boutique offers an array of specialty trends and novelty items for women of every age.

Stylish, convenient and affordable, the Miche Bag — an interchangeable handbag offering a variety of fashionable shells — is gaining popularity among women everywhere. And Love That Boutique, located in the Winthrop Town Center, is the only retailer in the Brandon-Riverview area that carries this new trendy fashion statement.   

Love that Boutique, formerly Lady Chameleon, first opened its doors in August 2010. Sandra Grenier, then a partner of the Lady Chameleon, took over as the sole owner in August 2011, changing the name of the business. Accepting trade-in and re-sell of pre-owned Miche shells, the boutique also accepts consignment of pre-owned designer handbags.

New merchandise can also be found at the boutique, including sterling silver, gemstone and fashion jewelry priced less than $25, shoes, novelty gifts such as lotions and soaps, greeting cards, Pura Vida bracelets, wine glasses, Lottie Dottie handbags and European-style beads (similar to Pandora).

“We are in a good location near other shops and restaurants,” Grenier said. “It’s easy to park and run into [the store], and we are also more affordable than most boutiques.”

Love That Boutique participates in monthly Winthrop Center events, including the monthly Ladies Night and the Arts and Crafts Bazar. It's also registering sales reps for new Miche Bag parties that will gain exposure through the boutique. Plans for the expansion of the shoe and gift department are also in the works for this winter, Grenier said.
