Haute for season The Mixed Bag
Where Girls Of All Ages Love To Shop
The Mixed Bag began as a vendor at horse shows up and down the East Coast about 20 years ago. The owners, Jonatha Gorin and her daughter Tracey Gorin-Byrne, would load up their horse trailer with horses, along with ladies clothing and accessories, to sell in vendor spaces at the shows they participated in from Vermont to Florida, ultimately ending up at the Winter Equestrian Festival in Wellington for 12 years. Over the years, a brick and mortar store was opened in Mystic, Conn., as well as in Jupiter. This allowed them to carry an even wider variety of lines. Five years ago, the Mixed Bag stopped being a vendor at WEF and opened the Wellington store, located in the Wellington Marketplace. “We love Wellington and knew it would be a natural fit,” Jonatha Gorin said. Clients come in to see what’s new, be it clothing, accessories or gifts. “We are known for our wide assortment of apparel and accessories, which are stylish, versatile and affordable,” Gorin continued. “Appealing to all ages, we offer Jude Connally and Gretchen Scott and Saint James for the more mature tastes, and Bella Dahl, Elan and Olivaceous for our younger clients, to name just a few.” The Mixed Bag is a true shopping destination. “The majority of our shoppers don’t leave empty-handed and return often,” Gorin said. “We have a wonderful variety of accessories, including lovely silk scarves, trendy jewelry and smart handbags. Some great fashion footwear is coming soon. And gifts, lots of gifts for the animal lover, great hostess gifts and fun girlfriend gifts. Husbands and male friends love to give our gift certificates all beautifully wrapped.” Most recently, the Mixed Bag added infant and toddler items through age six, including apparel, accessories and gifts, because Tracey Gorin-Byrne just became a mother herself. 13889 Wellington Trace, Suite A-13 Wellington, FL 33414 (561) 795-8976 www.facebook.com/shopthemixedbag
