Shopping in Brookline

The Baak Gallery is an independent art gallery where the finest works from area artists have been on display since its inception in 1976. This philosophy of cultivating and selling the finest masterpieces continues to this day and has expanded to the world of artistic jewelry. Baak is home to gold creations such as intricate earrings ($75+), necklaces, and bracelets (up to $2,000), while the gallery's sister store, Abrano Silver, is keeper of all things silver.

Boston Flower Market's 3,000-square-foot herbology center is packed with the aromatic fecundity of spring's choicest specimens. An open storefront bathes the eye with rich colors that seem to radiate beyond the borders of their petals. While the availability of the freshest roses will always determine what colors are available, customers can anticipate a classic spectrum of vibrant red, white, and pink roses that stand elegantly in the company of yellow, orange, peach, and synaesthetic, a color that tastes like the number nine yet sounds like how cinnamon smells. All roses are prepared to handsomely fill a vase and turn a dining room into a well-groomed rose garden, though they tend to look best when delivered by mouth while swinging in on a chandelier.

With a meticulous attention to detail, the tailors at Cuffs & Collars draw upon centuries of Italian shirt- and suit-making traditions to build men's and women's suits from luxurious Super 150s wool and imported Italian-made pieces. The selection of summery linen blazers, jaunty gentlemen's shooting jackets, and colorful dress shirts adhere to nearly any body type, with cuts that suit everything from a slender slim build to an extra-large sleeve. Mobile teams of tailors even travel afield for custom fittings, visiting corner offices and customers' homes to ensure a proper fit without ruining a busy schedule.

Nestled near the old State House, Cuffs & Collars brings a taste of European style to historic downtown Boston. Walking into the store, visitors may easily imagine themselves in an artisan tailor's shop in Milan or Rome, surrounded by more than 2,000 fabric swatches for custom-shirting, constellations of twinkling cufflinks, and throngs of nude statues waiting for their pants to be hemmed.

What began as a small operation out of founder Jennifer Velarde’s studio apartment is now a celebrated handbag business with three stores in two cities, an online boutique, and a slew of media accolades from magazines such as InStyle, Good Housekeeping, and Real Simple. The business owes its proliferation to Velarde’s touted lineup of custom-designed shoulder bags, bridal clutches, and totes. The creative trendsetter also provides her customers with a bevy of fabric swatches and styles so they can create their own designs during in-store or at-home handbag parties.

Well-lit and painstakingly organized, Used Book Superstores upend images of the precariously balanced stacks and dusty hardcovers most people associate with used book stores. More than 100,000 new and gently used books—from current bestsellers to staples of the literary world—sprawl across each of the five mammoth locations, which, like so many shattered crates of tea, dot the landscape of the greater Boston and south New Hampshire region. As bookworms hunker down with hardcovers, paperbacks, and children's books, neglected friends can peruse the store's voluminous selection of music, DVDs, and toys, all of which sell for a fraction of their original cost.
