e drop into our favorite boutiques for killer clothes, colorful home accents and unique jewelry pieces. And when the shop’s inside is as attractive as its inventory, it’s a special added bonus. These four Buckhead shops not only boast stylish clothing and accessories, they don stunning décor too! Visit them for fashion inspiration—and don’t be surprised if their tricked-out interior makes you want to stay awhile.
Suitsupply At the Shops Around Lenox location of Suitsupply—a men’s shop with linen suits, Italian loafers, vibrant pocket squares, quilted vests and the like—head store designer Floor Enneking’s goal was to establish a young and fresh, yet inviting, atmosphere. “We like to play with textures and bright colors to create contrasting shades. When it comes to store design, ‘modern’ and ‘young’ are the keywords, but the atmosphere has to create a sense of home too,” she explains. Enneking’s frequent travels guide her inspiration. “In every city you can find something new, something innovative—especially in Europe. I draw inspiration from magazines, new designers and museums. I like to use different materials for something more unpredictable.” Curvilinear walls and black-and-white patterns mix with colorful and almost cartoon-like images of suited-up men on the walls. The shop’s floor-to-ceiling tie cabinet also doubles as wall décor. “It’s because of this creative freedom and unorthodox approach to design that every store can be recognized characteristically as Suitsupply,” Enneking says, “but each in its very own way.”
Morgan Kylee Roswell Road’s Morgan Kylee clothing boutique, owned by Buckhead resident Morgan Henzlik, was a no-brainer when it came to selecting shops with stellar interiors. Enter the intimate yet open space and follow the soft scent of candles burning (her own line coming soon!) to the impressive buffalo painting dominating the wall. From a vintage wooden checkout desk to wall-mounted headdresses—you’re immersed in the natural beauty of the contemporary lodge-like feel. Henzlik’s mom, Andrea Henzlik of Andrea Henzlik Design, has been the brain behind much of the décor and style. “We wanted classic design structures, such as the boarding of the walls, being juxtaposed with eccentric and modern elements that make it current. It’s about quality over quantity—and a fresh, open space,” Andrea says. “We wanted a mixture of textures like the seagrass carpet, the blue velvet sofa, the art, mixed in with the product Morgan buys. The overall vibe emulates Morgan in design form. A few words that come to mind are beachy, bohemian, classic, structured, open and unique.” The decorative pieces have come from all over— Atlanta’s Scott Antique Markets, a garden store in Chicago and street vendors in Paris. The good news? Many of the decorative items are for sale, except the buffalo painting and headdresses—those are staying in the family.
