Fox & Moon Clothing is an extremely petite, homey boutique located at 2746 E. Broadway Street in Long Beach, CA. The shop offers a rare mix of women's lines along with hand crafted clothing and jewelry. Some of the clothing lines carried in the shop are Gentle Fawn, BB Dakota, & a newly emerged line, Knot Sisters. The style you'll find inside Fox & Moon clothing is very feminine with a slight touch of bohemian edge. The boutique is located across from an Irish Pub and next to an art gallery, so the store itself definitely has some character!
Upon entering the store for my very first time, I saw a woman working on a sewing machine in the back of the store. As it turns out, she happened to be the owner. I set down my wallet and keys at the front counter, and we immediately got to talking. All of her sewing was due to the Patchwork Festival coming up this month. If you've never heard of the Patchwork Festival: Modern Handmade Festival, it's a place where boutiques and crafty entrepreneurs can showcase their work and sell it to the public. At the craft show, there's food trucks, live music, DIY stations, and an overall pleasant shopping experience. If you've never been, you should definitely click the link I posted above and check it out!
ANYWAY, back to the lovely boutique that is Fox & Moon. I asked the owner, Christy, what she was working on for the Patchwork Show. She was creating clothes to sell and getting accessories together for the big day. And as I soon found out, she makes some of the clothes that are sold in the store! I love that concept.
The merchandise assortment is half clothing and half jewelry. Unique clothing brands and vintage jewelry pieces fill the store. As you can see below, I picked up a few vintage bangles for the price of $18! If you're a young woman in her 20's who loves Pinterest and gazing at Anthropologie clothes that you wish you could afford, then I welcome you to Fox & Moon. The prices range from $18-$60, making it very affordable for those living in a college town.
I asked the owner if she ever had any events at Fox & Moon, and she immediately asked for my name and email address. She then asked if I was 21! My age was a very important factor because once a month, small stores on Broadway have an event called, "Sip & Shop", where some boutiques serve adult beverages and put a special discount on products. I was hooked! Sip a cocktail while shopping? Yes please.
There is not a negative thing to say about Fox & Moon, because everything about this boutique is incredibly sweet and delicate. I cant wait to go back!
