Plus, Gorjana brings its West Coast-inspired jewelry collection to King Street
Life On Vacation
Lifestyle brand Kenny Flowers is bringing its tropical vacation vibes to King Street, where the resort-wear line has opened its first brick-and-mortar location, a flagship store in the former Skinny Dip space. Kenny Flowers was founded by Kenny Haisfield in 2015 after the UNC-Chapel Hill grad and corporate consultant quit his job and moved to Bali, Indonesia, where he started making Hawaiian-style shirts. Haisfield, along with his travel blogger wife, Christina, has expanded the collection to include swimwear, dresses, and other accessories for women and children. In addition to colorful printed button-downs—which feature sunglasses loops in the front pocket and buttons made from coconuts—shoppers can find golf and tennis apparel. Look for Kenny Flowers to host corporate and social events at their second-floor cabana club. [345 King St., kennyflowers.com]
Layer It On

The brand offers necklaces, earrings, bracelets, and rings, including its popular gold chain link “Parker” collection that can be customized with charms. The line, founded by Jason and Gorjana Reidel in 2004 in Laguna Beach, also has introduced more fine jewelry, such as its “Melbourne” diamond row collection, launched last year.
