Rita Villa marks a decade in Summerland with her new lifestyle boutique
O
ne word Rita Villa would use to describe her newly opened Summerland boutique? Family. One word I would use after discussing the space and its inspirations with her prior to Hacienda’s grand opening? Pride. And both would be correct. Villa’s newest venture, Hacienda, is built upon family (her own) and fueled by profound pride and a fiery passion for the curation she conducts. Before I can ask Rita about her favorite features of the new outpost, which is modeled “after things I love in my own home,” she cannot help but gush about the impact her family has had on each of her endeavors, Hacienda being closest to her heart.
