about design, about ingenuity, contrasts, insight...
It’s about layering these elements together in unexpected ways to create a style all its own...all your own...

Worthwhile opened in December, 1993 in Charleston, SC, bringing a bit of the unknown to what was then a fairly conservative shopping environment. The mix of merchandise  found in a department store translated to a boutique setting  was an idea just catching on at the time...lifestyle... Worthwhile went one step further to include women's and children's clothing, creating a truly unique shopping environment. Our vision is to create a shopping experience that is one of sensory and aesthetic delight..ext2v.jpg (30547 bytes)

Our product mix is always varied...a new material in candle holders, a young clothing designer’s first season, a book about the bonds between sisters, loaves of soap sold by the slice, a foldable watering can, handbags made from seat belts.......we’re always on the lookout for the new and unusual, while we sometimes embrace the tried and true; We like translucent layers over opaque ones, a hard edge next to a soft fabric.

If you enjoy the mix of silk organza layered over velvet,
If you like to end each day immersed in a tub of  rosemary lavender sea salts
If the feel of freshly laundered 420 count cotton sheets under a  velvet duvet cover surrounded by silk pillows is your idea of bliss,
If your babies must be swaddled in organic cotton flannel,
If you need a  touch of whimsy in the midst of  your serious design aesthetic,
If you value laughter and a smile...

Worthwhile is for you... int4x.jpg (26307 bytes)

We had been working on the idea of working on a catalog  for many years, and this time procrastination may have paid off, as “cybershopping” came about in the meantime...we’re new at this, but excited about bringing our eclectic mix of products to you via “the web.” You’ll find here the same personalized service that you’ll find in our King Street store...so, sit back, relax and enjoy a truly unique shopping experience...and do let us know what you think...
