Sty.lishh Boutique now open in Hotel Rehoboth
Following a lifelong dream, Buket Offidani has opened Sty.lishh Boutique in Hotel Rehoboth on Rehoboth Avenue.
Originally from Turkey, Offidani opened the women’s clothing store in early May. It’s an upscale, contemporary boutique that offers timeless classics and effortless pieces, she said.
People like to come to the beach to be casual, but there are also times – a special dinner, a wedding – that call for something nicer, said Offidani, describing Sty.lishh as a mother-daughter store.
“Sty.lishh offers a place to dress up and dress down easily,” said Offidani. “If you’re looking for a casual day look, you can find that too.”
Staying true to her roots, Offidani said the clothing reflects her Turkish background with merchandise and styles. Pointing to a selection of Italian linens, there’s also clothing with a European feel, she said.
A few of the brands offered include Joseph Ribkoff, Luukaa and Clara Sun Woo. A full list of brands is available on her website, said Offidani.
In addition to clothing, Sty.lishh offers jewelry, handbags and scarves. Pieces that are funky, said Offidani.
Offidani said she got her love of fashion from her mom, who still lives in Turkey and also worked in the industry. She’s always been an inspiration and has been helpful, she said, adding that her sister, Imrem Dirig, is helping in the store.
“For this summer, anyway,” said Offidani, with a smile and a playful-older-sister tone.
With a few weeks under her belt, Offidani said the reception has been fantastic.
“Good reviews and good feedback,” she said. “I decided to take a chance. It’s exciting.”
Sty.lishh, 247 Rehoboth Ave., is open 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., Sunday to Thursday, and 10 a.m. to 7 p.m., Friday and Saturday. For more information, go to stylishhboutique.com, email stylishhboutique@gmail.com or call 302-260-9095.
