Coming to Beacon from the TV and Film industry, Aimée "harnessed my love of research, passion for storytelling, and discerning eye to craft a brand that places human beings at its very core. Inspired by my own travels and admiration for local shops, it's been a dream to see Berte become a must-visit destination for design-minded customers looking for inspiration and joy."

Adored by the media. Berte was featured in Glamour, HGTV, InStyle, ApartmentTherapy, Food& Wine, Chronogram, Hudson Valley Magazine, and other publications.

Neighboring businesses expressed sadness at the announcement. Vintage shop Blackbird Attic commented: "So sorry to hear of this news, I know how difficult the decision must have been 😞. I’ve always envied your shop, perfectly curated, you will be missed on Main! ♥️"

Fellow collaborator on local events, Hyperbole, also felt the loss: "We love being your neighbors and friends. Everything you’ve built and accomplished is so inspiring. We will miss you, Berte — but on to the next big project ❤️"

The jeweler King and Curated saw the positive: "What a great chapter it was! Glad it brought us together. Excited for you mama. All is well that ends well. You’ll be missed on Main. ❤️"

Berte’s Closing Letter

“After six inspiring years, Berte will be closing its doors at the end of the summer.

“This has been a very difficult decision to make, but we are simply at a point where it is no longer sustainable to continue on with the business. I am deeply grateful for the support and love you have shown us over the years, and would like to celebrate our time together with a special closing sale.

“Thank you from the bottom of my heart for being a part of the Berte community. I truly feel like the luckiest person in the world to have worked on my dream shop for so long...something I never could have done without your support.”
