Little things,chosen with care.
A small shop tucked inside Areté with home goods, apothecary, skincare, books, cards, and gifts. We try to bring in things that feel a little less everywhere, though sometimes a good find is simply a good find.
A small shop with a point of view.
Retail at Areté is not super serious, but it is considered. I pick things that feel useful, beautiful, funny, comforting, or just a little different from what you see everywhere else.
I usually try to stay away from items you can grab on Amazon, but I am not precious about it. If something is good, it is good. The shelves change often, so the shop always has a little bit of a treasure-hunt feeling.
A little bit of this and that.
Home & Linens
Tea towels, ceramics, candles, and small things that make a room feel more like yours.
Apothecary
Soaps, balms, bath soaks, room sprays, and easy little add-ons for home.
Skincare
A rotating mix of products Jen has tried, liked, researched, or is currently excited about.
Curiosities
Books, cards, jewelry, paper goods, and the odds and ends that make retail fun.

Because the studio opens around the day's appointments, a quick call or message is the best way to make sure someone is here if you are coming just to shop. We are at 213 E Braxton Foushee Street in Carrboro, the building with the warm windows.
