Our Story
Step into our world, where curiosity and beauty converge to create an experience that inspires; a space that invites you to explore, imagine and transform your own perceptions of style and design.
December Thieves (est 2013) is a women-owned and operated small business nestled among the brick-clad facades of the historic Beacon Hill neighborhood of Boston. Inspired by a poem from the 13th century mystic, Rumi, the essence of our brand is one of discovery and evolution as we traverse the globe to unearth fashion-forward marvels from small-batch designers, producers and visionary artists.
Our Team
At the helm stands Lana Barakat, our visionary founder whose discerning eye meticulously selects each garment, accessory, and jewel. With each collection we seek to expand horizons, challenging the boundaries of conventional design and inviting you to explore new realms of style and expression.
As you wander through our boutique, you'll be greeted by our devoted team of Thieves, who strive to bring warmth and wonder to every visit by helping you explore, discover, and express your unique sense of style.
Our Team of Thieves are proud to have created a most inviting and nurturing shopping experience, both in-person and online. Whether you're looking for a meticulously draped garment, a statement earring, or a leather bag stitched to perfection... you’ll find it here.
Our Philosophy
Each item carried at December Thieves is lovingly crafted. We work with small artisans and independent designers who follow small batch manufacturing practices.
For them, this means working solo with a handful of studio assistants or with small family run workspaces to bring to life their creations. For us, this means high quality, unique products in very small quantities and a true dedication to the transformative power of a product made with passion.
Nothing is mass produced or can be reordered on a whim, and when it runs out, it runs out. Kindly note that the items you find online are one and the same as those found in our brick and mortar locations- so snatch them up while you can!
