Yes, it is possible to feel both cozy-comfy and cosmopolitan-chic at the same time, and Nest, a Manteo shop focusing on the finer things in life, is the place to discover this delightful juxtaposition.
Inspired by passions for fashion, travel and the Danish philosophy of hygge, Nest owner Nancy Seitz stocks her store with high-quality, swoon-worthy goods that stand the test of time. She believes that surrounding yourself with aesthetically pleasing, fine-quality creature comforts is key to creating a peaceful, joyful and sophisticated vibe, and her apparel, accessories, home decor, niche fragrances and other finery reflect that.
Frank & Eileen Lab knits and wovens, Indiennes block-printed kaftans, Italian baby alpaca sweaters, sumptuous cashmere, silk scarves, CP Shades velvets, flannels, baby-wale corduroys and quite possibly the best pants you’ll ever wear (be sure to ask!), accessorized with German felted wool hats, French handbags, Parisian belts and beautiful jewelry from Barcelona and various American artists, will carry you effortlessly from Outer Banks oyster roasts to the streets of Manhattan. Mongolian lambs’ wool pillows, cashmere throws and sublime candles and more will help you elevate your nest.
For that casual yet cultured aesthetic for your wardrobe or your home, visit Nest in downtown Manteo.
