Snuggled inside a ’69 Shasta Loflyte camper is Wilmington’s first and only mobile design boutique, otherwise known as Bea. The 7x14-foot camper is operated by Big Sky Design, which is owned by Jennifer Kraner. After Big Sky Design, which marks its 25th anniversary next month, moved in 2020 to a larger space on Oleander Drive, Bea’s role shifted. “We have more square footage on the floor for furniture and merchandise, so Bea’s no longer used as a mobile boutique as she once was,” Kraner said. “But she is used as a real attention-getter in front of our space when we do have events. So, she is just sort of a well-loved part of Big Sky.”
