My new favorite spot for modern furnishings. Great gifts!

We happened upon this store during a recent trip to the area, which we were visiting for a long weekend. We spent the better part of said long weekend wandering around Vail Village, eating and shopping. We spotted WORTH, from across the way, and decided to head up to the second level of the shopping area to have a peek. What sealed the deal in drawing us in was the shopkeeper’s adorable doggie, waiting for any new visitors outside the door. He gleefully ran over to us, and we followed him inside. I’m honestly not sure how to describe my design aesthetic — my mother is French, so I love all dainty ornate antiquities, but since moving in together with my boyfriend — my tastes have evolved. I’ve started having a much larger appreciation for more modern design, and a part of me also loves the woodsy rustic look that is so popular right now(and our house is an open concept, midcentury modern 1 story, so go figure: P). While the overall vibe of WORTH is more contemporary/modern, they have many items to satisfy a variety of aesthetics. We loved the mid-century modern lighting and seating; fun barware; the eclectic mixes of objets — contemporary bronzey horns, rustic candlesticks with a twist, NEST candles, and(a personal favorite) a leather pair of dice that look like they’d be right at home in an old fashioned game room /library! While the dice did not come home with me — we were absolutely blown away by the throws — they were all supersoft, and(most importantly) faux fur! One, in particular, caught our eye — a gorgeous color, that shifted from the palest icy white, silvery blue, and gray fur on one side, and the silver silk sateen on the other side. For those not from the area, the pricing on some of these items may seem a bit high(though, I warn you — they’re on par with the rest of Vail Village), though all items appear to be of utmost quality. Still, we left without the throw, and I spent the next 24 hours thinking about it! I found their online store, and could not find it or any other throws available. While I was able to identify the throw and locate it elsewhere online, I was only able to locate it on one other website for purchase, that online store being based in The Netherlands. So we returned the next day to inquire if the throw could be purchased at a later date. The shopkeeper(the same from the previous day), was genuinely kind and helpful, and let us know that it could be, but that the one we were interested in was her last one and would not be restocked/replenished. She did go on to show us the fabric of the new stock that would be coming in, and that we should be able to purchase shortly. While it was beautiful, and also fairly soft — it just wasn’t quite as soft as the icy white we were both in love with! So, I bit the bullet and purchased the last icy blue throw — and I’m super happy with my purchase! We have a unique, and beautiful souvenir, that will get lots of use and will be perfect to cuddle up in as the temperatures cool. Apparently — even our doggies will get to enjoy this :).
