Our Story

In July 1995, Tess opened her first flagship boutique in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Nestled neatly into Harvard Square with a strong hip-hop, skate, & academic prep culture, Tess provided diverse high-end European fashions, selective merchandise, and personal attention as an alternative to traditional department stores. After 25 years, customers still continue to value the merchandise selection and well-trained staff that is always ready to help create the perfect ensemble for any occasion. 

With the success of her flagship store in Cambridge, Tess branched out into different locations in the New England area. This transition from the diverse community of Harvard Square locale to the chic suburban setting of Beacon Hill & Concord has allowed for a more diverse selection of merchandise, and the addition of shoes and jewelry geared to compliment a variety of styles.

All Tess boutiques carry identical merchandise and on any given day merchandise is seen transferred from one location to the other by either client or staff request.
