PHOTOS: It’s Merry and Bright at Gossypia Boutique in Alexandria
For more than 40 Years, Owner Amanda Lasker Has Been a Leader in Old Town fashion
ALEXANDRIA, VA – Located on Cameron Street across from Alexandria City Hall, the Gossypia boutique welcomes shoppers into a wonderland of hand-fashioned and hand-crafted clothing, jewelry, and beautiful, authentic Latin American Folk Art.
What does the name mean? Gossypia is simply the Latin word for cotton. Owner Amanda Lasker used it to name the business because the shop only sells attire with natural fibers. The inventory is an interesting selection of clothing, and jewelry that you won’t easily find anywhere else. On the company’s website, Lasker adds how there can be twists on the name, “Should you buy or wear the glamorous items available at Gossypia Boutique it will certainly lead to delightful gossip for you. You will become the talk of the town.”
Lasker has been involved in the fashion scene on Cameron Street for more than forty years, curating a constantly changing collection of unique jewelry, clothing, and accessories.
Gossypia is open daily and is located at 325 Cameron Street, Alexandria, VA, and the website is gossypia.com.
