The interior of this shop is worth the trip alone. It has that European vibe and I'd recommend a visit even if you are not an art aficionado!

Great for home gifts, but it is a compound of multiple little "shops". Mahi Gold is adjacent to the home store and the place to go if you forgot your dress or are in need of a cute little outfit - both mens and womens.
