Coppola’s Boutique
Clothing and Accessories Store We’re on the hunt for Rhody Gems! Every neighborhood has that secret, hidden, cool and unusual, or hole-in-the-wall spot that locals love. Email or tag us on social media using #RhodyGem to suggest yours, and we might just feature it! What it is: Curated resort wear and unique special occasion outfits that range in style from unique, bold, and bright to classic and feminine.
What makes it a Rhody Gem? Coppola’s Boutique is a must-stop for South County fashionistas. Owned by sisters Casha and Casten Cappuccio, who grew up going to the original Coppola’s in downtown Watch Hill with their grandmother, who nurtured their love of fashion and sense of style. The pair pay homage to their gran by keeping the distinctive and elegant looks of the original boutique, while infusing it with their own contemporary sensibilities. The carefully curated fashion offerings take you from day to evening and include elegant beach-chic looks from brands like Newport’s own C.K. Bradley and Gretchen Scott to boho style from designers like Bella Tu and Monsoon and Beyond. Bold accessories and lux home goods round out the store’s offerings. Coppola’s knowledgeable staff is on hand to help put together a classic Watch Hill look or locate the perfect statement piece.
