Sip & Shop
Enjoy a glass of vino while browsing the new Souchi women’s knitwear boutique on Broad Street from 4 to 6 p.m. on January 18. Owner Suzi Johnson, who founded the brand in San Francisco in 1997, relocated to Charleston from Colorado last summer and opened her downtown store in September. After selling her line wholesale for years, Johnson returned her focus to her creative process, hand-looming cashmere, wool, silk, and organic cotton sweaters for her shop. Customers also will find a curated selection of dresses, denim, shoes, handbags, and jewelry. [141 Broad St., souchi.com]
