Bonnie and Clyde. Bergman and Bogart. Angelina and Brad. Behind every firebrand beauty stands at least one notorious (and often adorable) male.

Yet that’s how legends are made. And Tess & Carlos are no exception.

The boutique-owning duo opens its third location — along one of the upper blocks of Newbury Street — this week. Why hadn’t they done so already, you ask? Because frankly, darling, that would have been entirely too obvious. Instead of parking on the shop-filled strip a decade ago, they hit Cambridge — and later, Newton Center.

But they’re ready for their close-up now, for which they’ve duly prepared. Scope out the vast minimalist space (black hardwood floors with raw, white-plastered walls) filled with knee-length cashmere wraps from D. Bensussan, printed split-neck sweaters from Marika Charles, and ruffled skirts and tanks by Hache.

The couple’s latest collaboration is sure to stir up some trouble.

Just like the antics of all the legendary pairs who came before them.

Tess & Carlos, 141a Newbury Street, Back Bay (617-262-8377 or tessandcarlos.com).
