We’re back with this week’s Clare V. Retail Report—dispatches straight from our store teams. Special edition: Montecito We took a trip up to our Montecito shop (not a bad business trip) and caught up with the team about some recent highlights from your visits. Gifting season is officially kicking off, and we’ve already seen some very proactive shoppers. L came in on a mission to find something for her daughter and landed on a classic to start her collection: a Petit Moyen and Shortie Strap (we’ll keep the details under wraps—we heard she reads these). K fell for another Clare V. staple—the Moyen Messenger in Natural Checker—plus a few seasonal exclusives: the hair-on Citron Flat Clutch and Coin Purse. Customization continues to be a hot topic, with M picking up a few new straps to reimagine her everyday bags. (AKA new bag hack.) The Petite Fanny is still stealing the spotlight: S styled the Black Zig-Zag as a belt bag and added a bandana, G took home the Super Red, and N popped by to add it to her holiday wish list. Great energy all around at Montecito–great setting, great styling, and the sweetest customers. Don’t forget, our store teams are always here to help with styling, gifting, and monogramming. Thanks for stopping by! Xo, Le Team Clare V.
