I discovered Ben & Giules during my daily walk on Miracle Mile a couple of months ago.

I fell in love with the concept and the unique hand-crafted, sustainable, and artisanal pieces from all over the world.

If you haven't been to Ben & Giules, visit 290 Miracle Mile or 811 Lincoln Road. It is such a unique concept store.

You will want to buy everything!

This weekend, there was a Meet the Makers pop-up event because we do rise by lifting others.

It was an excellent opportunity for the community of Coral Gables to shop local, shop small, meet the artisans, and buy from them.
