WANDER INTO ASPEN'S Henry Beguelin boutique and it's as if you've been invited into the closet of the ultimate globe-trotter: a well-curated collection of exquisite pieces—equal parts bohemian, tribal, eclectic, and sophisticated. The shop boasts an eponymous line of shearling overcoats, two-toned leather riding boots, and fur-embellished messenger bags. A special "DNA" capsule collection, named for its marriage of archival style and progressive design, offers a selection of tough, worn-in military boots and utilitarian handbags. New, however, are the rarefied international labels the store has begun to carry under the direction of Brazilian native Cristina Nicoletti. "It has always been Cristina's intention to offer the most interesting, beautiful, and unique handmade items from around the world," says store co-owner and Nicoletti's husband, Paul. Brands such as If Six Was Nine, Share Spirit, and Guidi, a shoe manufacturer that chose Beguelin as its exclusive Aspen retailer, add bohemian scarves, silk trousers, knitted skirts, leather shoes, and silver jewelry to the boutique's one-of-a-kind selection. 614 E.
