Aspen Shopping Guide

Artelana

For something bohemian and cozy, count on this knitwear stop to provide loads of alpaca scarves woven with folkloric designs, Peruvian border-print ponchos, and pewter-closure Nordic cardigans.

Aspen Antiques

We can't remember the last time we saw so many gorgeous oddities, like intricately carved wooden birds and velvet couches with arms made of antlers. This kind of rustic Black Forest decor is having its moment right now, and these pieces, scooped up from castles across Germany and Austria, are wildly inspiring.

Boogies

It's safe to say that this is probably the world's only combination diner/denim store. The ground level houses jeans by labels like People for Peace and 1921, while upstairs, shoppers enjoy burgers and jukebox tunes.

Christopher & Co.

Proprietor Steve Woodruff has amassed the world's largest collection of vintage ski posters—our favorites depict rosy-cheeked couples gliding down slopes at grand European resorts. Their bold, graphic imagery might just compel you to become an instant collector. 105 Edwards Village Blvd., Edwards, 970-926-8191, christopherco.com

Cos Bar

This posh apothecary has branched out to other U.S. resort towns, but its original Aspen shop, full of products from sought-after brands such as Kanebo and Prada, is still the best.

Distractions

Heidi Semrau's customer is the kind of woman who can't get enough Tory by TRB tunics and Zac Posen dresses, but would equally embrace a reworked vintage Nike track jacket or scribble-design Rogan tee.
