About Velvet Coat

Velvet Coat shows why a boutique can feel different from a larger store. The selection is edited tightly enough to have a recognizable perspective, and the College Street location makes it easy to step inside without turning shopping into an expedition. It is a polished but approachable stop for clothing, accessories, and gifts with more personality than a generic rack.
