Chrissy and Jackie Harrington, Owners of LITTLE CHATEAU

Mother-and-daughter duo Jackie and Chrissy Harrington always dreamt of owning their own boutique in Newport. Years of retail and design experience, not to mention their warm, outgoing personalities, primed them for striking out on their own, but it wasn’t until a few years ago when the stars aligned. “When 13 Touro Street became available on my dad’s birthday, who had passed two years prior after his battle with cancer, we couldn’t help but wonder if he was behind it all, encouraging us to go for it,” says Chrissy. “So that was exactly what we did.”

Now in the process of expanding into the nextdoor space, LITTLE CHATEAU has garnered awards and a steady stream of customers who feel right at home shopping the Harringtons’ carefully curated home decor, gifts, and apparel, in between friendly conversation with Jackie, who Chrissy and guests agree carries an aura of warmth. “We always love seeing our design visions come to life and meeting so many incredible people who really want us to succeed. Our community is truly so special.”
