Stitch and Feather

Stitch and Feather, a beloved Orange County clothing boutique, has found its newest home in Old Towne Orange.  Owner Candi Anderson opened Stitch and Feather’s sixth location in August, marking nearly a decade of growth since launching her first shop in Seal Beach in 2013.

“Since we started expanding our locations, Orange has always been on our list,” she says.  “We  tried for a few years before finally landing in Old Towne, and we couldn’t be more excited.”

After seven years running a marketing company where she built promotional products for clients like Lionsgate Films—including making pins for the Hunger Games movies—Anderson wanted a new challenge that would blend her creativity with her passion for connecting with people.

“It started as a hobby, but it turned into so much more,” she says.  “I wanted to change the face of retail.”

After seeing stores like Anthropologie with great inventory but prices beyond many shoppers’ reach, Anderson had a vision for creating Stitch and Feather.  The company’s mission is “rich experience, affordable price,” and Anderson is proud to live up to that mission and provide quality, trendy fashion that doesn’t break the bank for her customers.

“We’re a small but mighty team who cares about nailing the customer experience, whether that’s our signature flower on top of gift-wrapped items or just making conversation with customers,” she says.

At Stitch and Feather, customers will find a collection of primarily women’s clothing, as well as gift items like journals, candles and jewelry.

“We get new products weekly and keep up with current trends so we can be the go-to for your styling and gifting needs,” says District Manager Tanya Guerrero.  “We have something for everyone and curate our pieces for all ages.”

The team has also curated the Old Towne store to have a new atmosphere from the boutique’s other locations, incorporating decor from the Plaza’s vintage shops to honor the neighborhood’s historic character.

“We appreciate that everyone has been so gracious and welcoming to us,” says Anderson.  “It’s a different experience in Old Towne than in any other neighborhoods our stores are in.”

The warm welcome complements Stitch and Feather’s focus on building connections in the communities they join.

“Customer experience means a lot to us at Stitch and Feather,” says Guerrero.  “We want everyone who walks through our doors to feel welcomed and like a guest in our home.”
