Eberjey is a boutique lingerie and swimwear house founded by Ali Mejia and Mariela Rovito. The company first launched in 1996 and has quickly expanded within leading US retailers and internationally to Europe, Canada, and Japan. Eberjey contracted McKenzie Construction to build out their debut location in South Miami’s chic retail district. The boutique opened in July 2012 and was designed by Upstairs Studio to reflect the soft tones of Eberjey’s brand and product line. McKenzie craftsmen custom-built furniture to specification often incorporating natural materials such as custom cedar awnings. Reclaimed oak plank floors throughout, gold applique wallpaper, and bespoke lighting accents come together to create a warm retail space.

“Opening our first branded store was an exciting and fulfilling experience, in no small part thanks to our talented architect and contractor. The McKenzie team understood all of our needs, made solid recommendations, and provided excellent service day in and day out. The final product is a jewel of a boutique that looks, feels, and interprets the Eberjey brand experience, exactly as we envisioned it—and we couldn’t be happier.”

On the heels of its debut South Miami opening, Eberjey opened its second boutique in South Beach's new Sunset Harbour Shops on Purdy Avenue. Doors opened on the very apropos Valentine's Day and the neighborhood has taken note. Known for its soft, lacy, and perfectly feminine lingerie and swimwear, Eberjey's South Beach location was designed in line with its first shop's use of natural materials, soft lighting, and delicate details. Reclaimed oak flooring, custom dressers, and vintage lighting accents come together with the space's exposed concrete surfaces to create a sleek and modern while nonetheless intimate boutique. As with its first location in South Miami, the space was designed by Upstairs Studio.

"Our second Eberjey Boutique was highly delayed due to City permits and inspections. But the second we got the green light, the McKenzie team worked tirelessly to get the job done and the store open. The professionalism and passion they bring to work every day are rare and invaluable".
