There is such a dearth of good boutiques in the suburbs. So when I stumbled upon Crimson Mim, I knew I had to write about it. This place feels so urban and chic, you may temporarily forget that you aren’t in the city.
Although it’s not very big — 800 square feet or so — the shop is overflowing with the coolest clothing and shoe selection. We’re talking footwear by Gunmetal, Bettye Muller and Cynthia Rowley. In addition to popular apparel brands such as Rachel Pally and Twelfth Street by Cynthia Vincent, you’ll find smaller, independent labels like Porridge, Talla and Paolo. Handbags, jewelry and belts are also stocked at Crimson Mim.
The staff here is super-friendly and helpful, making it easy to see why this specialty boutique has developed a loyal following. Before Christine Campbell opened up shop last year, I’m not sure how fashionistas in Los Altos managed!
