Essentially Edith is a vintage-inspired, Old Hollywood–infused boutique created as a sanctuary of identity for women ready to step back into the spotlight of their own lives. Founded by Lena Briggs, a former coach and hypnotherapist, the boutique bridges the worlds of personal transformation and timeless style. Inspired by mid-century cinema and the brilliant philosophy of legendary costume designer Edith Head, we curate 1940s–1960s styles in modern-day wear and sizes so our clients can feel cherished, transformed, and wrapped in effortless glamour.

What sets Essentially Edith apart is our unwavering commitment to cruelty-free glamour. Every single piece in our boutique is 100% vegan—we intentionally exclude leather, animal skins, wool, cashmere, and silk. We prove that you do not need animal products to achieve breathtaking, red-carpet-worthy luxury. Our curated collection features eye-catching dresses, tailored suits, saucer hats, and dramatic gloves that celebrate elegant silhouettes while honoring modern values of compassion and sustainability.
