Midtown Consignment Miami

Like a high-end, brick-and-mortar Craigslist, the shop resells upscale furniture. Styles range from art deco to modern. Go treasure hunting.

Brownes & Co. Miami

A smaller version of the beloved Lincoln Road shop. It still has plenty of beauty products, from imported soap to organic shampoo. In the back is a minisalon for nails and waxing.

Imagine Miami

A cheery gift shop in Midtown. An eclectic mix (think vases, bath salts, canvas totes, hand-painted scarves, journals, locally crafted jewelry, candles, chocolate). Most everything is green, fair trade, or handmade. Lovely to browse.

Kartell Miami

Lucky for us, the Italian furniture designer opened a storefront in the Design District (where else?). Go discover the fabulous modern decor that you can’t afford.

Say it in a letter. The cutesy shop’s got everything from thank-you cards to wrapping paper. Brands include Crane & Co., William Arthur, and more. Plus, the in-house graphic designer does custom logos and business cards.

Sharron Lewis Design Central Miami

The sprawling showroom has everything from couches to Italian flatware to grapefruit soap. Lewis designs all the furniture herself (custom, at her factory up the street) and has a library of catalogs on flooring, fixtures, and fabrics.
