Boutique on Wheels Parks at The Street

NEWTON, MA - A mobile boutique is on its way to The Street, along with a new pop-up gift shop.

"Penelope," the brainchild of Papers & Presents owner Carolyn McCoy, will roll into The Street on Friday alongside a pop-up of McCoy's store.

The custom-made truck features a skylight, hardwood floors, Jonathan Adler upholstery, a bookcase with uplighting and a desk and bulletin board displaying the various stationary and invitation options sold by Papers & Presents.

McCoy's business began in 1988, when she started selling invitations, stationary and birth announcements out of the trunk of her car. She eventually moved to a storefront in Wellesley, where she curated customizable gifts, stationary and party supplies for 16 years.

After closing the store in Wellesley, she created "Penelope" to take her business on the road.

Papers & Presents sells a number of popular gifts, including cocktail napkins with catchy slogans, fleece blankets with college logos that can be embroidered with students' initials and class year, monogrammed totes, laundry bags, and more. The shop can also monogram gifts purchased at other stores.

“The Street is excited to continue being at the forefront of retail trends as we welcome Papers & Presents to The Pop-Up. The boutique’s innovative story and personalized approach to gifting are exactly what we look for in our continuous hunt for best-in-class local brands," Allison Yee, General Manager of The Street, said in a press release.

Don't miss your chance to visit "Penelope" at The Street, 3 Boylston St. in Chestnut Hill.
