This light and airy boutique started out as a sort of hippie general store in 1968, selling everything from winter coats to granola to ice skates. Over time, the family-owned shop narrowed its focus to women’s clothing. Today, Presence has a young and trendy vibe, where tailored blazers and pastel sundresses fit in perfectly with fashion-conscious handbags and eye-catching accessories. The store focuses on reasonably priced lines such as Alternative Apparel, Necessary Objects and Soda Blu.
