Nantucket Boutique Respoke Showcases Works of Local Island Artists

NANTUCKET, MASSACHUSETTS (August 2020) – Nantucket boutique Respoke has teamed with the Artists Association of Nantucket to show works of local artists at their 41 Straight Wharf shop. “While our Nantucket shop will not be opening this summer, we are delighted to offer our space to the Artists Association of Nantucket to showcase the original works of our talented island artists,” says Respoke co-founder Chris Bartick.

Respoke was conceived and co-founded by Cape Cod native Michael Tonello, best-selling author of Bringing Home the Birkin. Respoke espadrilles, ready-to-wear, and accessories, are made from authenticated iconic designer silk scarves (Gucci, Pucci, Hermès, among others). Every item is eco-friendly; every pair is unique. In the tradition of finely crafted products, Respoke espadrilles are hand-made and hand-stitched by multi-generational craftspeople in La Rioja, Spain.  For more information visit Respoke.com.
