The 1,064-square-foot store will be the second in the state and follows a seasonal store that opened in Nantucket last spring. The Newbury Street store, in the city's Back Bay area, will be designed by Ryan Lawson and Ninie Norris who will furnish the unit to complement the history of the neighborhood.
