Its 12South location has been open since 2013, so it’s been easy to take White’s Mercantile for granted a little. But a recent visit to the Green Hills outpost of singer-songwriter Holly Williams’ Southern chic shop renewed my appreciation for the variety and specificity of what it offers. A small assortment of Agolde jeans, pajamas and robes from Sleepy Jones, upscale L’Avant cleaning products and plenty of luxe candles and bath products are perfect treat-yourself options. A section of gifts for men — from coffee table books to ball caps to toiletries — sets White’s apart from lots of other femme-centric shops. And with another location recently popping up in Belle Meade, it seems like White’s is really going places.
