EASTERWINGS
Named after George Herbert’s 1633 poem “Easter Wings,” this luxury fashion boutique first opened on Boston’s Newbury Street in 2005. The founder is a doctorate cellist who designed her own clothes and brought her unique, thoughtful aesthetic to The OC Mix in November 2021, rebirthing the brand. From a structured military jacket to a velvet minidress with frill collar to one-of-a-kind jewelry and shoes, EasterWings’ bold apparel and accessory items are memorable statement pieces carefully selected with the O.C. customer in mind. As “fine feathers make birds,” EasterWings’ mission is to help each customer “fly with new joyful fashion identity.” easterwings.com
