Heather’s Brings Resort-Style Shopping to Winvian
Quality Goods with Sustainable Values
Winvian is pleased to announce the opening of Heather’s, a resort-style boutique, with locations in The Smith Ell House and The Spa. Named in honor of Managing Director Heather Smith Winkelmann, Heather’s showcases a range of thoughtfully curated treasures, each one connected to our core values of timeless luxury, elegant welcome, and deep connection to the creative spirit and unmatched beauty of the Litchfield Hills.
You may wish to pack light and shop onsite. Guests and visitors will find an array of clothing that blends comfort and style. Athleisure and loungewear from Beyond Yoga and Barefoot Dreams are suited for onsite activities and relaxation. Modern classics from Maison Wheat are American made—from materials to finishing details—for unmistakable quality you can feel good about. White & Warren elevates seasonal resort wear with cloud-soft cashmere sweaters and scarves. Your next favorite pair of jeans might be from Citizens of Humanity, which relies on sustainable practices and recycled materials to craft denim and woven goods that feel timeless while looking comfortably polished.
Men will enjoy premium staples from Kiwi outfitters Rodd & Gunn. Their signature look represents a New Zealand twist on New England prep, with quarter-zips that move seamlessly from walking path to dining room. Like Winvian, they are committed to a low-impact approach, with goods that reject outward flash in favor of quiet luxury and inward satisfaction.
Heirloom-Worthy Keepsakes with Bespoke Appeal
Our exclusive collection includes keepsakes poised to become heirlooms, such as works by local artisans, found only in the Litchfield Hills. Representing our dedication to bringing European hospitality to your backyard, bespoke, hand-painted ornaments by London-based artist Tom Martin include a depiction of our very own estate. These ornaments are so beautiful they merit year-round display.
Heather’s’ Smith Ell House location features an assortment of unique gifts, including vintage games and books about New England that invite family play or solitary reading time. Illustrated cards, some by local artists, are ready to send or frame. Upgraded essentials like Yeti water bottles and insulated mugs, or caps bearing Winvian’s classic logo are perfect for use onsite.
Extend Results and Enhance Wellness
The Spa location highlights proven products that have earned our technicians’ trust. Extend your post facial glow with staff suggestions from Yon-Ka Paris. Keep your hair head-spa lush with Davines’ transformative line of sustainable haircare. Key ingredients are culled from farms with a commitment to biodiversity, mirroring our own belief in sustainable beauty you can sustain at home. Our experts will provide you with take-home guidance and the very same products used during your treatment at our award-winning Spa.
In addition to products for personal care, The Spa offers goods to support overall wellness, including suncare for outdoor activities, and candles that promote relaxation. Proceeds from these candles support an animal rescue dedicated to improving the lives of our furry friends. Wellness that gives back feels good.
Memories Last Long After Your Stay
Both boutique locations can assist you in selecting gifts for wedding guests or executive retreat participants. Surprise your partner or family with a special treat awaiting them in their cottage. Contact us in advance, and we can have your carefully packaged selection awaiting your guests upon arrival. This personalized touch is a wonderful way to evoke the feeling that family members or guests of your special event are entering into a space of relaxation, connection, and celebration.
We believe your one-of-a-kind memories are the most valuable treasure from your time on our family estate. Heather’s offers the opportunity to take home a tangible memento of your time here, a cherished reminder of time well spent.
