STEP INTO MIRO\u2019S BOUTIQUE AND ENTER INTO\u00a0A WORLD OF EUROPEAN ELEGANCE AND EXCELLENCE<\/b>.<\/p>\n

Victoria Miro and sister-in-law Erin have teamed up to create a thoroughly extraordinary space housing collections from\u00a0around the world.<\/p>\n

For Victoria, who attended St. Theresa\u2019s and Lourdes, and lived in Pinecrest for the past 17 years, is most familiar with the South Miami shopping experience. \u00a0 A former teacher, who homeschooled her two children, she enjoys a passion for interior design and decoration. She had organized weddings, prepared floral arrangements and catered to the needs of her clients.\u00a0 This is her first fashion retail venture.<\/p>\n

Both Victoria and Erin, who lives in the Northeast, had always wanted to do something together, and so they embarked on this new venture, designing the interior space and enlisting the entire family in actually building out the luxurious surroundings in two months.\u00a0 \u201cWe left a lot of sweat equity here,\u201d exclaims Victoria.<\/p>\n

Miro\u2019s Boutique is not label driven and carries more than just well-known designers.\u00a0 Erin, as co-buyer, has selected international collections: Italy (Maliparmi), LeMaison, a designer for Tom Ford, Singapore, London, Russia, Marie France van Damme, L.A.M.B., Gwen Stephani (Canada), Connie Bates\/Fahrenheit (NY), and for the holidays gowns from Kaufman-Franco. \u00a0 Miro\u2019s has its own handbags and bracelets, and their goal is to design their own label someday.<\/p>\n

TO MARKET TO MARKET<\/b><\/p>\n

So what do you do with retail space that\u2019s been empty for almost two years and that\u2019s adjacent to your already successful bakery?<\/p>\n

Answer: You explore your own dream.\u00a0 Misha and husband Gardo, thoroughly enjoy fine wines and great food, so they decided to create a space for a specialty market.\u00a0 Conceptualizing the market design and concept in October 2012, and after the birth of another child in June, they were ready to roll out their marketplace.\u00a0 Teaming up with Jose Lorenzo, who has been in the produce business for decades, and most recently manager at Epicure, they are able to capitalize on his knowledge, experience and relationships with purveyors.\u00a0 \u201cYou\u2019re not to going find the products we sell here within a fifteen-mile radius of us,\u201d says Gardo.<\/p>\n

Licensed as a \u201crestaurant,\u201d Misha\u2019s Cupcakes opened in 2008, and it is this designation that allows the Market at Misha\u2019s to bring in select wines and products that are not available in local markets or package stores, and also serve up patrons who want to come by and order for consumption at the market.<\/p>\n

Those learning about Misha\u2019s Market have come to spend an evening uncorking wines, sampling salamis, cheeses, olives and much more.\u00a0 It\u2019s become a place to meet and visit with friends.<\/p>\n

Their boutique wines (\u201cfermented grape juice\u201d as their sign says) included Chost Block (Napa), Merry Edwards (Sonoma) Flacciarnello, a Super Tuscan and wine of the year.\u00a0 They carry great Italian and Spanish labels from small wineries.<\/p>\n

So, come by the market. Pick up some prosciutto, pates, olives, Barolo soaked figs, Parmigiano Reggiano and a bottle or two of some outstanding vintages from around the world, that you won\u2019t find elsewhere.<\/p>\n
