I’m a bit partial, but I have the most darling customers in the world.

Gosh, I love it when my friends and customers send me their pics of themselves wearing apparel or jewelry from my boutique. These images, to me, are reminiscent of a glossy Ralph Lauren glossy photo spread, only better. The girls came in and purchased lots that day, including these Suzabelle coats. The photos were taken on their working horse ranch, just outside of Portland.

Hmm, when I stop for a moment and think about all the designers that are featured in my teeny, tiny boutique, I pause on Suzabelle, who season after season, consistently comes out with the most gorgeous, fashion-forward coats, jackets, dresses, tops and skirts. She just focuses on the details that make the design special. And her designs are always unique and her seams are flawless.

Guess, it's no wonder, the designer and my friend, Suzie Jarberg was aptly named the "Seattle Coat Queen." The details on her coats...all the pieces really...are so sweet. Check out the rest of the Suzabelle collection at Anne Bocci Boutique.
Plus I love to offer the best pricing around. Pictured above is the putty-hued Belleterre cropped jacket and the black and white Greenstreet wool coat. In my opinion, the Greenstreet coat by Suzabelle featured above is designed as well as a Ralph Lauren coat costing thousands, yet better. It was $298 and now just $190 at my boutique.
And if you live in Portland, Oregon, stop by my tiny store in Multnomah Village.
The Village is packed full of stores, boutiques, coffee shops and lots of indie, family-run business without a hint of the corporate mall stores. Plus, we have no sales tax, which makes shopping that much more fun!

NEW independent designer: Aelisheva Couture at Anne Bocci Boutique

When the plain brown box was delivered to my boutique, I had two customers in the dressing room. I carried the box downstairs and said, "If you'd like to see some new couture dresses I just got in, we can open the box together." Well, within minutes, three of the nine dresses had been sold.




"Alyse and Sanja use different materials in a single garment, so no piece is just one kind of thing. Wools, with knits, with lace and sheers. Each dress could be framed and hung on the wall."
- Anne Bocci

"Aelisheva makes haute couture beautiful and affordable"
- Spork Fashion

"A fabulous collection replete with class, elegance, sophistication and originality"
- The Inside Scoop

"A wearable art project... beautiful and minimal"
- Fashion Frenzy

Aelisheva is Sanja Zivka Jovanovic and Alyse Radenovic
photography is by Hisae Aihara and Tom Weis

Each one-of-a-kind artisan dress is $120
