Lanis Boutique is a great find for chic shoes, handbags and accessories, and it’s the only store of its kind on East 17th Street in Costa Mesa.
Owner Stephanie Hsu chooses understated classic shoes like Cole Haan, Stuart Weitzman and Delman, and she also likes to punch it up with currently imported, hard-to-find styles including Modern Vintage from Canada and Gracienne from Brazil. And Hsu is careful to buy stylish shoes that are also extremely comfortable. It’s a great time to find deals at Lanis; its spring/summer inventory is reduced 20% to 50%. The boutique is open 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday, and by appointment Sunday at 270 E. 17th St., Costa Mesa.
