Solene Boutique reopens in Olde Avon Village March 27

Lia Kalin is reopening her boutique, Solene, on March 27 in Olde Avon Village, Ohio. The store will be located at 36840 Detroit Road, in the space previously occupied by True Hart Boutique, which closed on March 15. This new location is part of Kalin’s journey that began in 2016, when she first opened her store nearby. Kalin said she enjoyed her previous space but chose not to renew her lease in 2023. Now, she is excited to return after discovering a prime location next to popular spots like the Treehouse Gallery and Tea Room. Solene will continue to offer the same style of clothing that has attracted customers in the past, which she describes as "mom chic."
