Sri Boutique lives up to its name By Kathy Manwaring news@barnstablepatriot.com KATHY MANWARING PHOTO YES, SRI - Sri Boutique offers women's fashions that dazzle with light, luster, radiance and beauty, as well as a bit of funky fun! The shop on Pearl Street is owned by D.D. McGarry who returned to the Cape last year.The name,Sri, comes from the Sanskrit word "Sri" which means light,luster,radiance, beauty, creativity and prosperity. In Sanskrit the word Sri (pro- nounced shree) means light, luster, radiance and beauty. In the ever-changing world of women'sfashion the Sri Boutique in Hyannis carries the Sanskrit meaninginto its shop, offering fun, feminine wares that are, well, very Sri. Sri Boutique originally opened in Plymouth, N.H., where owner D.D. McGarry, formerly of Oster- ville, enjoyed 10 years of success, including the vote of "Best Bou- tique Shopping Experience 2005" by New HampshireMagazine. As McGarry's family needs changed, a return to the Cape became neces- sary. McGarry brought her stylish tastes and whimsicalshop with her, establishing Sri Boutique on Pearl Street in Hyannis. "It feels great to be back," McGarry said, a wide, welcoming smilebrighteningher face. "People have been really responsive." McGarry believes that women find Sri Boutique a welcome change from the staleness of de- partment stores and mall chains. "Women are excited to have somewhere new to shop," she said. What makes Sri Boutique special is its dramatic diversity from the clothing styles women might expect to find on Cape Cod. Ensconced within a cozy pink- painted buildingset back from the street, Sri Boutique is ajoyously eclectic mix of funky, trendy pieces that catch the eye and lift the spirit. There is nothing nautical or navy blue here. "We are not conservative at all," said McGarry of the clothing, jew- elry and shoes she carries. Shoppers willbe delighted with the bold array of colors, fabrics and designs that can be found on the neatly organized racks of Sri. McGarry has carefully culled fash- ion shows and such for the pretti- est offerings that include flowing tiered skirts, sparkling tops embel- lished with scattered gems, and even a breezy velvet duster. Accessories include earrings, bracelets, pins, and shoes. Name droppers will appreciat e brands such as Chinese Laundry, Mary Frances and Lucky Jeans. "The store changes weekly," McGarry said, noting that she is always on the lookout for new items to feature in the boutique. While McGarry does have con- cerns about her "off the beaten path" location, she is confident that the uniqueness of the store, coupled with her top-notch ser- vice, will not only bring in new clientele but keep people coming back. "Anyone can shop on-line but you don't get personal service," says McGarry. The service at Sri Boutique includes one-on- one advice on putting together an outfit , choosing the perfect acces- sory or deciding on the ultimate Prom gown. To make prom shop- ping easier as the season approaches, McGarry plans on consulting with teens that visit the boutique to discuss with them what type of dress they are looking for and only carrying two of each style. McGarry will also be establish- ing a registry of purchased dresses to avoid young women wearing identical gowns. "I'm going to have a promotion called 'Dare to Daz- zle.' Girls can come in and describe for me their dream dress in order to win a $75 gift certificate ," McGarry said. Because Sri Boutique didn't open until mid-September, Mc- Garry missed the busy summer season. Although she is looking forward to the increased foot traffic a Cape summer can bring, she is careful to point out that her main focus is on her local clients. That clientele is not limited to the younger generation, as McGarry believes her attire is for all ages. "I have Barnstable High School girls shop here and 78-year-old women, too," she said. "It's for the young and the young at heart." Sri Boutique is located at 20 A Pearl Street, just off Main Street. Parking is available.For hours and information please call 508-790- 3113.
