Wealthy at Charles

738 Wealthy St Se
616-458-6664

In an era of mass produced world market goods, it is refreshing to find a store that specializes in the procurement of the unique gift item.

Wealthy at Charles works closely with an international designer whose focus is in contracting gift items from artisan studios around the world. The shop is situated on the revitalized strip of Wealthy Street, and offers a wonderful rotating collection that should be everyone's first stop when seeking a new decorative item for the home or a gift for a very special occasion.

The handcrafted offerings are very eclectic and diverse, with beautifully selected products that will fit in any home from the modern to the classic. And rounding out this shopping experience is their tiny flower stand tucked inside this walk-up storefront.

During the warmer months, the store's wonderfully spacious corner garden encourages customers to freely wander and view up close a variety of gardening ideas and products for gardeners of every level.

The beauty of this store's every changing inventory is that many of these items truly are one of a kind,  but the personalized and attentive service is standard with Wealthy at Charles.
