Larkellen

Debi and Mimi are the two gorgeous co-​owners, mother and daughter, that really know how to run a gorgeous boutique. I love that this shop is full of Nevada pride. There are so many unique and eclectic pieces such as kitchen and home goods/​items, towels, cookie mixes, chocolates, accessories (from jewelry, wallets, sunglasses, and watches), water bottles, t-​shirts, hats, trailer hooks, ect. The list is endless. These items are great for presents, but are awesome buys for yourself! Mimi and Debi are both very proud of their store. They showed me around and gave me an explanation of all the wonderful locally handmade items that are made here in the Reno-​Tahoe area. I loved the Nevada Oneloa hats. I definitely bought one for me and my boyfriend, Bryan. We wear them proudly to show off our Nevada pride. The selection is limited here, but Mimi posts her inventory on social media. If you like something don’t be afraid to run in and grab it that day. Happy shopping :)

Cool stuff! Cool people!
I found something for everyone on my Christmas list. So nice to shop at an owner-​operated store with NV pride!

What exactly is a Larkellen? If you take the time to talk to Mimi and her mom, the team behind this beautiful boutique, you’ll learn it’s a «Where», rather than a «What», and a whole lot more in the process.
Mimi and her mom have created a boutique brimming with beauty, creativity, and lots of conscious products, many made locally or by locally owned companies. From
Fashion to food, this shop has it all! If you’re a dude with a beard you best make your way down for the wide array of serums and oils that’ll keep yours silky smooth and smelling great! Or perhaps you’re looking for a new wallet that is functional and fashionable at the same time. Well they’ve got you covered there too! Maybe you’re after that sweet piece of home décor to round out the room, like an Edison bulb lamp or custom sign, well you should see what’s hanging in here. And that only covers a tiny fraction of the funky and fantastic stuff in this shop!
Me, I came in specifically looking for Tahoe Timber sunglasses, locally made shades with bamboo frames! My friend Sydney brought these bad boys to my attention, but sunglasses have always posed an issue for me. First I tend to lose em, so price is an issue. These are $ 99! Now I still don’t wanna lose em, but I’m not out what most might cost of that should happen. I also struggle finding shades that fit and I really like polarized lenses too. Well, I got lucky because these hit the trifecta and I bought a pair without even flinching!
The stock at the store is constantly changing as they discover new items to carry. I personally brought 3 – 4 to their attention during my visit and they’ve since contacted them all about being in the store! So go check this shop out! Whether for yourself, a friend, a family member or just to browse some fun merchandise, you’re going to have fun visiting Larkellen!
P. S. Larkellen is actually the street in Santa Monica that the mother half of this dynamic duo grew up on. Surprise em with this fact and they might give you a prize!

Stopped by here to look for a birthday gift. I was greeted by Debi, and she immediately helped me pick out something perfect! Very cute store with unique items, almost all of which are made in the USA, and many that are made locally. I really like this little boutique and will definitely be back soon. Thanks Debi! :)

Fantastic boutique! If you are looking for the unique gift, see Debi or Mimi. They are wonderfull! The store has a great feeling the moment you walk in!

Very neat store! It is a boutique store with reasonable prices and unique items.
They stock their store with items that are difficult to come by elsewhere instead of just selling items you can easily find around town for boutique prices. They make an effort to put locally/​American made items in this store. Local supporting local makes the world go round.
On top of this, the owner is very nice. You can tell they are proud of the store, when I went there, they took the time to show me everything that makes them special.
The first time I went I had some difficultly finding it, and if I were better at directions I would give you some fantastic advice on how to get there… but really just use a Map app for directions and you’re set!
This is a great place to buy gifts for all occasions, don’t forget Father’s Day is coming up.

Larkellen is the definition of boutique! Tucked away in the Arlington Gardens Mall, this adorable little shop has a variety of specialty items that you don’t even know that you need/​want. The shop is family run and the owner, Meme, has a great style and flair that is clearly the inspiration behind the store. If you are looking for a wedding or hostess gift, this would be the perfect spot to come. Inside they have kitchen and home goods items, including inspirational hand towels, gourmet gluten-​free cookie mixes, and super sleek ice cream scoops. You can also find some clothing and accessory items such as snarky t-​shirts, jewelry, beautiful leather wallets, and funky boots. For the men in your lives, they have some shaving essentials, cool watches, and really unique barware. Meme was very proud to show me around her store and gave me an explanation of how they work hard to stock as many fair trade, local items as possible, and if not local, at least small batch, made in the USA. Awesome! I ended up buying myself a new wallet/​clutch as I couldn’t resist walking out of this adorable new store without a little treat for myself. The selection is limited and the prices are on the higher side, but the quality and uniqueness is certainly there! I will be back for gifts (and hopefully avoid indulging in more presents for myself).
