Meet the Owner of Cypress Boutique Monterey

Monterey, CA

Hi, I am Mary, owner of Cypress Boutique. I am married to my wonderful husband, Brian, and together we have the sweetest baby boy, who fills our lives with love and joy every single day.

My business journey began in 2015 when I opened my shop as a streetwear boutique at 800 Lighthouse Avenue. As the fashion industry changed and many brands became less affordable, I chose to shift the shop's focus to handpicked thrifted, vintage, and carefully selected new items at prices that felt attainable.
