In historic Savannah, many people shop on Broughton which has several moderate and high-end chain stores and retail brands. However, Whitaker is where you find many locally-owned retail businesses. Last Thursday, there was a shopping night that featured many of the shops on Whitaker Street. It is called the downtown design district. Savannah’s Downtown Design District resides on Whitaker Street, between Charlton Lane and Gaston St.
These are the shops that I stopped by to have a snack and a glass of wine were the following:
Mamie Ruth– A place for fun and funky Bohemian fashion.
No. Four Eleven– Monogrammed luxuries, furniture, gifts & interior design
Circa Lighting– Antique reproduction and vintage modern lights
One Fish Two Fish– Furniture & gifts from around the world, and upscale souvenirs. Salacia Salts sell their products there. I love their soap which has grits in it.
Bottega Bellini– Savannah’s destination for everything Italian. Kitchen, home and Italian accessories.
PW Short General Store– A lovely mix of kitchen and camping supplies.
Madame Chrysanthemum– A florist for when you want a special arrangement.
