This summer, Long Beach locals who are looking for something pretty and eco-friendly will want to check out Bella Cosa Boutique. Located in the Bixby Knolls neighborhood of Long Beach, Bella Cosa Boutique offers eco-friendly, hand-made products and gifts. What makes Bella Cosa unique is that the shop primarily offers products from local artists and crafters.
Christy Pardini, who owns Bella Cosa Boutique, opened the shop in November 2010. After participating in a variety of craft shows, Pardini realized that there were many Long Beach artisans with no place to sell their products. She decided to take action and opened Bella Cosa so that she and her fellow local artisans would have a place to sell their creations.
There is something for everyone at Bella Cosa. Ladies will love browsing through hand crafted items like belt buckles, purses and fine jewelry. Bella Cosa even carries mineral makeup by AuShe and a great selection of soaps, lotions and perfumes. Not wanting to leave the guys out, Bella Cosa also offers a variety of fun, unique gifts for men like cologne, drinking glasses made from Stone Brewery beer bottles, and flasks. While their parents shop, kids can browse through a fun area featuring items like crocheted animals and hair bows.
If you need to ship anything you purchase from Bella Cosa to out of town friends and family, visit one of the Long Beach PostalAnnex locations where you can ship your items via UPS or FedEx. The friendly professionals at PostalAnnex can even compare shipping rates to find the best rate and service for shipping your arts and crafts.
