After serving the community for more than four decades, Today’s Boutique is closing its doors.

• Owners Kim and Jim Dettle, along with their daughter Kristin Dettle Humphrey, have decided to retire and focus on spending more time with family and embarking on new adventures.

The Dettle family expressed mixed emotions about the decision in their announcement on Monday morning.

“This bittersweet decision comes with a huge mix of emotions,” they said in a statement. “As we embark on this new chapter of our lives, our primary focus will be to spend more time with our loved ones and move on to new adventures. We feel that now is the right time to prioritize and enjoy these special moments.”

Since its opening in 1981, Today’s Boutique has been a cornerstone of Destin’s fashion scene, offering more than just clothing and accessories. The store has been a place where fashion meets friendship and community, with the Dettles launching initiatives such as Destin Community Cares, fashion shows, Best in Destin events, and monthly trunk shows.

Many of Today’s Boutique’s customers have been shopping there since the store’s inception and have become like family to the Dettles.

• “It is hard to say goodbye to a business that has been part of our family for over four decades. We are filled with gratitude for the incredible support and loyalty that our friends, customers, and the Destin area as a whole has shown us throughout our many years in fashion,” the Dettles said.

To express their appreciation and bid farewell in style, Today’s Boutique will host its largest sale ever, starting Friday, May 10, 2024. The sale will feature “unbeatable deals” on everything in the store, including clothing, accessories, jewelry, fixtures, and furniture.

• The sale will continue until June 22 or until everything is sold out.

The community is invited to join the farewell festivities and take advantage of the opportunity to shop for their favorite brands one last time. For more information, contact Today’s Boutique at 850-865-5565 or visit www.todaysboutique.com.
