Designer Clothing in the North End

As you walk down Fleet Street, there’s a shop that has lovely dresses in the window.

Luke Aaron owns it with his sister, Heidi, who is his business partner.

Located at 38A Fleet Street, Luke Aaron is a boutique with a line of designer clothing.

“We started this company back in 2011,” Luke said.

He designs two collections a year: for spring and summer and for fall and winter.

“Each collection contains a mix of bridal gowns, evening wear, ready to wear and leather accessories such as handbags and belts,” Luke said.

Everything he designs is hand-made in the United States.

Luke also carries vintage and antique jewelry to compliment the collections as well as two other designer’s jewelry.

“I also have a fragrance collection called Panpuri from Thailand which is called Home Fragrance,” he said.

Home Fragrance offers such items as candles, room sprays and a diffusor.

The beginnings

Luke opened the shop in the North End because the area captivated him.

“I really love the North End history and its connection to the past,” he said. “I also really like the storefront itself.”

Luke and his sister renovated the storefront in 2011.

“We think it was a pre-industrial carriage or a garage,” he said. “I like the age and the feeling. It’s charming,” Luke said.
