Our Mission

The Eclectic Chic Boutique is a collective of over 30 artists from New Jersey and beyond. We strive to be a unique, diverse, and inclusive company that helps connect artists, artisans, and creative entrepreneurs to more customers. We are more than consignment. For our artists, we provide mentoring to aid them with building their brand, expand their reach, and helping them grow.

For our customers, we are known as an inclusive environment where everyone is welcome to come and be creative and appreciate diversity. We are a place where patrons know they can find high quality, curated crafts and learn how to live a healthy and vibrant lifestyle. Workshops, classes, demonstrations are just a few of the ways The Eclectic Chic Boutique brings arts and education into the homes, spaces, and communities of the surrounding areas. From hand-crafting jewelry, to specially focused art nights, to cupcake making, The Eclectic Chic Boutique provides a creative outlet for all ages .

Owner and Founder

Kristen Zachares founded The Eclectic Chic Boutique February 2017. After 6 years of professionally creating crafts and bringing them to a variety of markets, shows, and festivals her unique enterprising spirit took off.  Over the years she created a network of artists and artisans she met at the various shows, and through her memberships at entrepreneurial organizations. She found the majority of artists she met wanted to be makers, and found it challenging to make product and market a business. Kristen was inspired to help these artists, understanding the challenge herself of being both a maker and a businesswoman. She found she had the passion and energy to market and promote artists' work, so The Eclectic Chic Boutique was founded. Kristen teaches craft classes and creates her own line of crafts, but her true passion lays in helping others and creating a community of creative personalities. 

In the Community

The Eclectic Chic Boutique believes that a business by nature has a social responsibility. We have partnered with local non-profit organizations in which we share  common goals and support their causes.

CPAW NJ

CPAW is a organization dedicated to helping the community's outdoor cat population through its Trap, Vaccinate, Neuter, and Release program. This helps keep the outdoor cat population healthy and low in numbers. They also help prevent pet surrenders by providing education on cat behavior to pet owners.

20% of the sales of all cat themed and cat related items will be donated to this organization.

Arts Unbound

Arts Unbound strives to promote the artistic achievement of adults with disabilities and our senior population. Arts Unbound not only provides the means to create art through their classes and workshops; but they also provide mentoring and opportunities for their members to sell their art and exhibit in showcases, galleries, and museums across NJ. 

Arts Unbound helps make art and art education accessible for people of all abilities and ages. 

20% of sales of select items will be donated to this organization.
