This summer, Narcissus in Cashiers is highlighting a trunk show by Lafayette 148, a New York-based company. The show will take place Thursday, July 9, through Saturday, July 11. The line features modern, sophisticated, luxurious, Italian designer fabrics in a wide range of sizes – from petite to regular, and women’s XL.
Then, on Wednesday, July 29, and Thursday July 30, ShuShu, with her beautiful smile and talented and unusual creativity, returns to Narcissus. Her El Tonobi line has one-of-a-kind pieces made with pearls and semi-precious stones. “It is always an amazing surprise to see her designs,” said Giuliana Kaufman, owner of Narcissus.
After 11 years in Highlands, 18 years ago Kaufman found an old, almost 100-years-old, run-down mountain cottage in which to house her Narcissus boutique. She had the cottage restored, but left the original structure intact and just made some modifications. This year she had a beautiful new European oak floor added. The structure was saved and is now listed with the Cashiers Historical Society, which awarded Kaufman for her preservation of the building.
Kaufman, a native of Florence, Italy, was educated in art and fashion design and has worked with world-renown fashion designers. After coming to the United States, she became a fashion consultant at Neman Marcus and a freelance buyer for European boutiques as well as a fashion consultant.
“At Narcissus, you will find a variety of American and European clothing, Italian purses of buttery kid leather, quality, creativity, and exceptional accessories, plus ultra-personalized service,” said Kaufman, adding that by-appointment consulting is also offered.
She conveyed that Narcissus is “a woman’s indispensable destination in Cashiers.”
For an appointment or additional information, call (828) 743-7887. Narcissus is located at Highway 107 South in Cashiers.
