La Garza Design Studio & Boutique

A charming boutique full of handmade jewelry and accessories made from local materials. From pink sand and sustainably resourced corals to invasive lionfish fins and washed up plastics, La Garza preserved pieces of Bermuda for tourists and locals alike to keep with them.

La Garza revolutionized the way Bermuda sand and lion fish fins were being set in resin, developing new operation techniques, as well as creating custom molds for unique jewelry and gifts.

When the landlords at our original location couldn't renew our lease, we were faced with being homeless. Luckily, a resident and major investor in the Town allowed us to renovate a space in a a building he owned to create our fantastic store front, home, and fabrication studio. 

Designed to suit the needs of La Garzas' fabrication as well as operate as a small scale residence and boutique store, this design slotted various work stations under a loft for easy concealment. Though much was proposed for the property, building permissions were limited from the landlord. 

Before and After - Kitchen

Due to the pandemic, the boutique had shut its doors in 2020. In 2021, the landlord choose to sell the building, ending our agreement and lease slightly earlier than expected.

Our current project "The Oasis" will become the new home of La Garza'a manufacturing and pave the way for La Garza being reborn.
