Phoenix

Phoenix, located in Richmond, VA, was established on August 1, 1977, stemming from an original concept and a young woman's passion for adventure. Following her post-college travels in South America, she began curating artisan goods like Panama hats and alpaca sweaters, influenced by her family's background in fashion and design. Her knack for identifying unique finds from markets in Ecuador and Peru laid the foundation for a boutique that flourished over the years.

Traveling extensively to source distinctive fabrics and fashion pieces worldwide, the boutique expanded its offerings to include Mexican wedding dresses, Balinese batiks, and homemade soaps. With a whimsical touch that included canaries in bird cages and an array of eclectic merchandise, the store became a hub for one-of-a-kind treasures. Over four decades, the owner's dedication to enriching customers' lives with beauty and individuality has defined Phoenix's enduring success.

Describing her role as a blend of a professional gambler and a therapist, the founder's mission is clear: to enhance the world's beauty, one customer at a time. With a legacy of 43 years, Phoenix remains a testament to her vision and unwavering commitment to creating a space where artistry, culture, and personal expression converge.
