Boho Chic at Origin of Era in Bay Shore

For updates, subscribe to our free newsletter!

Origin of Era is boho chic at its finest. From the moment you step into this gem in the heart of the town of Bay Shore, you are reminded of the 60's and 70's, but with a hip twist. From dresses to blouses, hats and heavenly scents, there's something for everyone here.

Renee Goldfarb, owner of Origin of Era, wanted to start fresh and chose her native town of Bay Shore. At 19 years old, she was associated with Bay Shore’s Special Sauce, a former clothing staple in the community. She eventually ran the Fire Island location before taking on a career as a stylist in the fashion and entertainment industry. After 15 years in film and fashion, that expertise carried over into her next venture and Origin of Era was born.

“Bay Shore paved the way for me when I started at Special Sauce. Coming back there after all this time is a homecoming for me, and I am honored to be able to jump into this area with so many other amazing business owners.”

Origin of Era opened its doors in late January of 2019 in the beautiful waterfront village of Port Jefferson, but the birth of this shop dates back to 2013 in Williamsburg Brooklyn (formerly SlapBack). With on-trend pieces that shift their focus away from mass production and onto small independent female only designers, Origin of Era makes its mark by celebrating women.

The boutique caters to fashion enthusiasts with its rustic minimal bohemian and urban vibe and really gives women a fresh approach to fashion by offering classically modern pieces that appeal to everyone. Inclusive, diverse, and wearable is what this shop truly conveys. It is well-rounded and offers a vast selection of gifts for just about anyone. 

“You would be hard pressed to find mass produced items in our shop. We are extremely focused on offering small batch and sustainable products. We want to make sure when you shop with us you not only feel you are buying something exclusive but can also feel confident about supporting women owned brands, designers, and makers in our industry.”
