WE “COVET” COVET

Tucked away in a corner of  Barrington Court is a gem of a boutique called COVET.  Located behind the ever popular Market, I was intriqued by the red and white Morrocan type signage and popped in for a visit.  My quick pop-in has NOW become a regular pit stop during my weekly travels.  Unlike most of the westside shops which feel cluttered and overwhelming, Covet is crisp and organized.  The clothing items in Covet promise a look that is “French Riviera”, industrial and just plain Chic.  The store owner, Courtney Stroum Meagher, has a true point of view and an instinct about all things design.  Although her shop is a clothing boutique for fashionistas like myself, it is clear that Courtney is world traveled, well read, and well versed on all topics lifestyle.  Carrying designers such as Smythe, Lutz and Patmos, Current Elliott and Nation T-shirts- Covet is like your statement clutch  purse which holds the perfectly chosen lipstick, the necessary credit card, house key, and the newest of cell phones.  Courtney discovered her love of fashion as a young girl when she would travel to Europe with her mother and explore textile shops and fashion houses.  With a deep knowledge of the backgrounds of the designers she carries, Courtney makes shopping at Covet an experience and not a transaction.  By the way, the impossible to locate Smythe Army jacket with the gold button detail was available at Covet until I bought the last one.
