The Triangle’s shopping scene has some new (or renewed) faces this spring.
• High Line boutique recently opened in North Hills. The shop specializes in Southern preppy wear for men and women, with brands such as Southern Tide, Darling, American Vintage and more. Owner Jesse Jenkins hopes to appeal to those who want classics at an affordable price.
“I wanted to have a shop that almost everyone could come in and find something, so I carry items at a variety of price points,” he says.
High Line is at 4361 Lassiter at North Hills Ave., Suite 105, Raleigh, 919-784-0110, thehighlineboutique.com.
• Husband-wife team Kyle and Megan Denis brought their love of the outdoors to downtown Apex with the opening of Apex Outfitter and Board Co. The N.C. State grads reworked the former Tobacco Road Outdoors shop to include up-and-coming regional labels such as Southern Marsh and Southern Tide, along with perennial outdoor brands including Patagonia and The North Face. Apex Outfitter and Board Co. is at 225 N. Salem St., Apex, 919-267-9353, apexoutfitter.com.
• Galatea Boutique in Raleigh has moved to new, larger digs next door to its previous location in Seaboard Station. The shop will celebrate its grand opening Saturday with a Naot Shoes trunk show, music, refreshments and giveaways, including the chance to win a $100 gift certificate. Galatea is at 10 W. Franklin St., Raleigh, 919-833-8565, galateaboutique.com.
