Antica Sartoria, a unique boutique located in the heart of Delray<br />
Beach, has something for everyone. Customers can find<br />
the one-of-a-kind clothing of famous clothing designer Giacomo<br />
Cinque from Positano, Italy.<br />
Each year, Giacomo designs an entire new collection. Many of the<br />
clothes are like a work of art and described as a Boho chic style and<br />
casual beach chic for women of all ages.<br />
“This designer only makes so many of each piece. When you shop<br />
here what you are looking at is original, and you can’t get them anywhere<br />
else,” said owner Renee Schaefer.<br />
The boutique carries a casual beachy style and Boho chic attire,<br />
which you can wear from the beach to happy hour or dinner on the<br />
<strong>Ave</strong>nue. Their affordable pricing and fashionable line sells quickly<br />
and they change their merchandise every week. Other top sellers<br />
are their one-piece bathing suits, earrings, necklaces, scarves, Boho<br />
beach bags, denim jackets and hats. Antica Sartoria has everything<br />
from everyday wear to beach chic to statement pieces. They are a<br />
boutique in style but not in prices. Affordable is the goal with pricing<br />
ranging from $9.99 to a custom piece at $299.<br />
“We don’t want to be a boutique where you see the same thing for<br />
six months. We are always changing our merchandise every week,”<br />
said Renee, adding, “When people look in the window they think<br />
we are really expensive, but our price points are for everybody.”<br />
As soon as you walk through the doors of the Delray Beach boutique,<br />
you will be greeted by friendly staff and stunning beach style<br />
clothing. The “feel good” vibe continues with the bright colored<br />
accessories, handmade sandals and clothing. The local store takes<br />
you all the way to Italy complete with Italian music and décor. The<br />
store even has a fun line of accessories, pocket books, children’s<br />
clothing, mommy and me outfits and much more! Their colorful<br />
scarves are a best seller!<br />
“People are always asking for our scarves. The patterns are so<br />
beautiful, bright and colorful. Many customers buy them for souvenirs<br />
to take home, along with our matching Boho bags, which make<br />
a nice gift,” said Renee.<br />
Owners Renee Schaefer, Curtis Sigretto, and Wayne Jenkins<br />
wanted to bring the style of Italian clothing to the <strong>Ave</strong>nue. This is<br />
the fourth Antica Sartoria boutique in Florida and has been in operation<br />
for three seasons. The other locations are in Downtown at<br />
the Gardens at Palm Beach Gardens, Key West on Duval Street, and<br />
in Naples at the Mercato.<br />
