Maleeka (CLOSED)

One-of-a-kind pieces dominate the stock at Maleeka Ahmed’s namesake boutique, a warm, inviting storefront along busy Atlantic Avenue. Handcrafted pieces  by artisans in far-flung locations such as Turkey, France, Austria and Israel are laid out on long tables throughout the cozy space. You’ll find delicate items, such as thin jeweled bangles ($29) and wispy gold chains ($29), alongside statement trinkets such as blue-and-white beaded earrings ($19). There’s also a small selection of women’s clothing, featuring labels like Funktional and Skies Are Blue.
