ECASA recently celebrated its opening of a new retail space in 30Avenue, Founded in Apalachicola, Fla. by Emily Raffield in 2018. BECASA is a women’s boutique that showcases its own in-house clothing line that is designed and handmade in the U.S. and Jaipur, India, along with other curated apparel, home, and gift items that come from artisans and merchants all over the world. Compared to its first location, BECASA at 30Avenue exudes a more resort-style feel to its clientele. The new 2,300 square foot space will feature the BECASA line, which includes classic linen garments, hand dyed pareos, lounge kimonos, resort-style dresses and classic layering pieces, along with complementary brands, such as Luna Luz, Olivia James the Label, Cecilie Copenhagen, Musee & Cloud, Beck Bags, We Dream in Colour, and many others. BECASA aims to highlight small artisan makers and other small business entrepreneurs throughout their shops. “Beyond our clients, I’m very excited about extending new jobs and a new, fun loving retail work community to local women on 30A. These are the reasons I am in business and they’re the things that keep me energized every day” Raffield said.
