MILLERTON — A new boutique owned by two Salisbury residents opened its doors on Main Street Friday, May 29, drawing a steady stream of shoppers and supporters eager to welcome the business to the village.
Jones & Daughters, a boutique offering apparel, jewelry, home goods, and gifts, has opened at 34 Main Street in the former Geary Gallery space.
Co-founders Constance Edwards of Lakeville and Sabina Breece of Salisbury said they saw an opportunity to bring a curated shopping experience to the region.
“We wanted people to have somewhere to find a great pair of jeans, a beautiful dress, comfortable and stylish shoes or a thoughtful gift,” Edwards said.
Both women and their families were part-time weekenders before settling in the area full time during the pandemic. Edwards previously lived in Stanfordville, while Breece spent weekends in Kent.
The Millerton store builds on a business Edwards built with her sister and co-founder, Amanda Eckmann, established years ago in Louisville, Kentucky. The Hudson Valley location celebrated its grand opening Friday with friends, neighbors and first-time visitors.
“We wanted to create a place to shop that felt as thoughtful as this community,” Edwards said. “The perfect outfit, something beautiful for your home, a gift that actually means something.”
The shop carries women’s and men’s apparel, jewelry, shoes, and home goods and gifts, including candles, pillows, puzzles, and more.
Jones & Daughters is open Thursday through Monday at 34 Main Street, Millerton.
