Portobello Road

Portobello Road, "a store with a soul" only minutes from Boston located in Chestnut Hill is the ultimate shopping experience. Portobello Road named after the London Street where the eclectic, the special, and the beautiful are all for sale along a bazaar-like avenue. This retail shopping store; a boho-chic emporium is truly a sanctuary—wander through 5000 sq feet and take in everything from fabulous women’s clothing and accessories; to fresh flowers, plants and arrangements; to linens, housewares, antique furniture, beautiful jewelry, cool music, and gifts for babies and children. It is a “store with a soul” because the owners, best friends Marina Kalb and Kristina Lyons, handpick every item for its style, craftsmanship and design integrity, and are also committed to featuring products that are eco-friendly and fair trade. Portobello Road is more than a store: it is a community and gathering place for people with a shared sensibility and outlook. Open for just one year, Portobello Road has a devoted following of customers who are looking for hip, cool clothing, new and interesting designers, and a chance to create their own special look. While the store is designed to be efficient place to fulfill all your shopping needs under one roof, the experience is also sensually satisfying, tempting you to poke around and discover your own treasures while surrounded by fresh flowers, scented candles, groovy background music and a warm and attentive sales staff. Portobello Road is like no other store in the Boston area. Kristina and Marina bring their own special style, developed largely during their globe-trotting days, to Portobello Road, and have given all their customers the opportunity to find and express their own personal style.
