Our Story
Bringing West Coast Style to Westport
Los Angeles-born owner Kitt Shapiro believes it's never too late to start something new. At 57, she pursued her love of fashion and small business and bought her favorite local boutique — WEST, in Westport, Connecticut.
Combining a bit of East Coast edge with a casual West Coast flare, WEST highlights established California designers alongside inspired brands from around the world — many of them female-owned.
We Make Getting Dressed Fun!
“It's never too late to start something new.”
Come in to WEST and feel Kitt's passion for shopping local and supporting women-owned businesses. You'll leave with a smile on your face — and probably a great pair of jeans.
— Kitt Shapiro, Owner

AGE IS JUST A NUMBER
We believe getting dressed shouldn't be defined by age. We don't believe in rules. We embrace who we are and where we are in our lives.
