New Stores: Jenny Polanco and Holy Crab

Jenny Polanco

Left: Jewelry And Home Accessories
Right: Ozama Backpack & Mini Backpack

There is a particular shift when trying on a dress for the first time. Fabric settles, seams align, posture adjusts. At Jenny Polanco, that experience is intentional. Founded in the Dominican Republic, the is brand led by CEO Carla Quiñones Polanco (daughter of founder Jenny Polanco), who continues their clear design ethos: structured silhouettes, natural fibers, and craftsmanship rooted in Caribbean heritage. Inside the Gables boutique, the Milot Bucket Handbag ($365) sits on the center table, woven in a mosaic-like pattern with leather handles. Nearby, the Natacha Blouse ($345) from the Resort 2025 collection emphasizes the brand’s focus on breathable linen and clean tailoring, practical for South Florida’s humidity.

Racks to the left present the full 2025 selection, including relaxed linen pants, jumpsuits, and evening-ready looks. To the right, jewelry and home accessories are displayed in curated groups. Our favorites include the sculptural amber statement pieces, along with small home accents like pineapple coffee spoons that give a subtle nod to the Caribbean. In a retail landscape drowning in fast fashion, Jenny Polanco offers something unique: pieces you will not find anywhere else. It’s a wardrobe that begs the question, “Where did you get that?” instead of “Is that new?”

Founded in 1979, when Jenny Altagracia Polanco de León opened her first boutique, the brand has spent the past four decades perfecting garments designed for sunny environments while celebrating Dominican workmanship.

Right: First Crabs Of The Season On Display To Take Home

If you’re a fan of seafood, Holy Crab has got you covered. With online ordering and local delivery or pickup, the seasonal stone crabs pop-up is back in full force. We got a first look into the new store, now located on LeJeune Road next to Tina in the Gables, and it’s just what you’d imagine: crabs, crabs, and more crabs – stone crab, Alaskan king crab, lobster tail, etc.

On the left-hand side is a colorful mural painted with the Holy Crab logo, featuring a vibrant crab set against a tropical South Florida backdrop complete with palm trees, ocean waves, and local landmarks. Past the mural, you’ll see the crabs on display, with different sizes to pick from. Glass-door freezers are stocked with the full selection.

The menu is posted on the right, with pricing for everything from caviar (50 grams for $99) to six-ounce lobster tails ($19.99), grouper ($XX), swordfish ($XX), and – if you want a sweet treat – even an award-winning Key lime pie ($XX). You can also orderbundles like the Royal Feast, a premium surf and turf combo that includes lobster tails, king crab, and American Wagyu steak ($XX).
