Diece owner Shabdiece Esfahani has scoured the region to find the best local designers and artists, but to say that the store is simply a collection of homespun talent would be an undersell. Diece succeeds because everything stocked is sustainable, personal, well-crafted and incredibly chic. Savvy picked up a Motorphoria dress from Sally Balestrieri (who gets her inspiration from her hobby of racing Mini Coopers in rallies across Europe) and a wool and metal necklace from Irie Designs. Hipster boys will dig the tees from Rational Act, and granola girls will look cute hiking in socks made with wool from a local alpaca farm. Buy your artsy-craftsy friends Skiff Cove pottery bowls or the clean, minimal jewelry from Leah Staley. And everyone will love the 100 percent soy grapefruit and ginger candles from Cul-de-Sac. Diece is the Woodberry Kitchen of retail— local, fabulous and highly satisfying. Don’t miss: The pillows, chairs and bag from designer Lauren Hinds. 1211 S. Charles St., 410-244-6554
