New Virginia-Highland retailer celebrating grand opening 7 – 10 p.m.
A “coffee and clothing gallery” inspired by the love story of Atlanta couple Jim Chambers and Camryn Park is opening July 11 in Virginia-Highalnd, at 784 North Highland Ave.
Henry & June, co-owned by Chambers and Park, will serve up Nashville-based CREMA and United States micro-roasters coffee drinks in a program headed up by “bean curator” Dan Mueller, previously of Octane Coffee and Aurora Coffee, according to the retailer’s website.
Henry & June’s fashion offerings will include a “small number of contemporary brands not available elsewhere in town” like Abbey Glass and Correll Corell for woman, and Journal and Won hundred for men.
Chambers and Park met over coffee, as the story goes, and conceived their “lovechild” Henry & June on a “cross-country, coffee and boutique-laden road trip.”
“Ours will be not so much store, but a gallery of sorts, a convivial, bright little boutique, with fabulously beaming adornments, hand-picked by maniacs, and remarkable vessels of caffeination and flavor.”
The coffee and clothing gallery’s name comes from the “sexually-charged diaries of Anais Nin, and her beautifully poetic and scandalous entanglement with Henry Miller and his wife June in 1930’s Paris.”
Henry & June’s grand opening celebration is Friday, July 11 from 7 – 10 p.m.
