Tucked into a little spot on Broadway is a one-of-a-kind artist collaboration and wellness destination. Erin Myles of the craft jewelry line Wanderluxe has teamed up with Nicole Deponte of the vintage neckwear company Lilian Asterfield to create Asterluxe, a soulful little shop that features the handmade works of artists. It’s a shop that celebrates modern makers, healthy living and caring for one’s inner and outer space.
Erin and Nicole lived as neighbors in Providence’s West End and bonded over their shared creative natures and the special things about the neighborhood that they loved. So, they decided to come together, along with other local artists, to create this truly unique shopping destination (next door to Nicole’s original Lilian Asterfield location) that officially opened its doors in October. The space features small batch, artisanal works from over 30 artists, including many local makers, from all over the United States.
When I met with Erin on a chilly Friday evening, the bright little shop was like an ethereal escape from the windy night. Erin explains that, “Our focus is on wellness and creativity, and curating a beautiful life. Everything’s focused on being tranquil, calm and peaceful.” They don’t only use the space to showcase and sell the works of local artists and artisans, but to host workshops and classes on mindfulness and healthy living. “Asterluxe is a place to center and step away from the buzz of modern life,” say Erin and Nicole. “We want our customers to rely on us to offer the perfect gifts for themselves and others.”
