Holiday Shopping 2023: Claudette
|
For today’s installment of our local holiday shopping series, we visited Claudette Rothman, owner of the eponymous women’s clothing and accessories boutique Claudette on Main Street. (In addition to the clothing featured below, the shop offers many gifts, such a Kate Spade puzzle at $24, as well as picture frames, flasks, napkins, coffee table books, trays and toiletries.)
Here’s our conversation. ***
New Canaanite: Please give us some background on yourself and on the boutique. Claudette Rothman: I went to the Fashion Institute of Technology and I’ve been in this industry a very long time. I’ve worked for a lot of the big guys, and then I got out of the industry right around when dot coms were beginning.
