Handle With Care

This multi-faceted boutique combines clean, elegant styles with an eclectic atmosphere. Two connected storefronts on Wells Street express complementary but opposing temperaments: lavender walls and shiny chandeliers set the tone on one side, while retro furniture and ethnic accents make Handle With Care’s other half resemble the loft apartment of a globe-trotting sophisticate. As for the clothes, they’re tailored and feminine without being frilly--lines like Theory and Diane von Furstenberg offer updated classics, while apparel by Rozae Nichols lends a bold and artsy flair. Slender bracelets, necklaces and earrings in silver and gold by Chicago’s Juliet Jewelry go with any ensemble.
