Shopping in Suffern

Coquette's selection of seasonal fashions is as carefully chosen as a child's bowl of skittles, but less sticky when worn in the summer heat. In addition to stocking women's fashions from popular brands, the boutique carries distinctive pieces from new designers, vintage accessories, and handcrafted jewelry. Pair a floral rosebud tank ($40) with a flower cuff bracelet ($20) to attract pollen-hungry bumblebugs and make honey, or toss on a white, short-sleeve cotton dress ($46) to accentuate your skin’s sun-kissedness after a long day at the beach.

Curvy connoisseurs of the secondhand cloth will delight in the boutique's 3,000 square feet of shopable space. Stock arrives daily, and the store features pieces ranging from trendy looks of Torrid, Target, and Macy's to high-end designers including Anna Scholz, Tadashi, and Marina Rinaldi. The handpicked selections are sized up to 5x–6x, eliminating the annoyance of teensy frocks and ill-fitting finds. Prices vary depending on the piece and the Antarctic tide but are generally tagged about half off retail. Vintage goods average between $30 and $70, and consignment garments range from $20 to $50 for dresses, $15 to $25 for jeans, and $5 to $15 for secondhand shirts.
