The mid-sized Hudson Valley town of Beacon, New York is a picturesque community of tree-lined streets, historic buildings, restaurants, art galleries, world class shopping and a vast spread of urban fauna perfect for a variety of outdoor activities. This multi-faceted, multi-feasted destination is rich with culture and is often referred to as The Escape from Brooklyn. Provoking those who want to get away from it all to pay Beacon a visit and discover everything that this Urban delight has to offer.

Sitting at the top of Beacons most coveted attractions is the retail district and within it, a savory slice of retail heaven known simply as Wares. This uniquely curated cornucopia of goods is a one of a kind paradise; an artisan hub if you will, that plays center stage to some of the most talented independent designers spanning two coasts and selling everything from clothing, jewelry, home decor, artwork, accessories and handbags that are all locally produced, ethically sourced and sustainably manufactured.

Connoisseurs of good style and taste visit Wares to get their hands on all things original. Jeweled cuff bracelets from Jam + Rico, graphic throw pillows from Jessica Frasz and silk Kimonos from Bronze-Arae are just a sampling of the goods that makes Wares special.

“Wares is a lifestyle shop supporting independent designers that produce quality goods”, says owner Andrea. She elaborated with “we established Wares for lovers of handmade and one of a kind items and with that, Wares allows independent designers the opportunity to take their brand stories and products directly to consumers who value small batch, handmade and thoughtfully produced products.”
