Papilio

PAPILIO:

The large and well merchandised storefront window is often what draws visitors the first time, but it's what's inside that keeps shoppers coming back regularly. Since opening in 2013, this artful and natural boutique has continually created the perfect blend of nature inspired art with more contemporary brands like Lilly Pulitzer, Lake Girl and Crabtree & Evelyn.  Papilio's trendy jewelry is both current and affordable, so it's a must-shop for stylish 30 and 40-somethings.  The atmosphere blends corrugated metal, burlap and real tree branches with contemporary hues and warm furnishings.  Joel Mass, one of the friendly shopkeepers and an established artist, also lets his original butterfly art adorn the store's walls.
Papilio is located at 120 W. Fifth Avenue, downtown Mount Dora.
