Owl & Kittycat Vintage & Handmade — Local services in Carmel-by-the-Sea

A Fairytale Boutique in the Heart of Carmel – Owl & Kittycat

Nestled on the most charming block of San Carlos, just off the corner of 7th next to Scheid Tasting Room, Owl & Kittycat feels like stepping into a storybook. This enchanting new boutique is the kind of place Carmel has been waiting for — a whimsical, beautifully curated space that invites wonder at every turn.

The owner has crafted a truly magical experience, with a clear eye for quality, artistry, and intention. Each item feels handpicked with love — from dreamy dresses and ethereal earrings to rare vintage treasures and one-of-a-kind children’s clothing that will stop you in your tracks. The shop is brimming with pieces from unique, mostly female-owned brands that carry a sense of magic and meaning.

There’s something here for the romantic, the nostalgic, the imaginative — whether you’re searching for a timeless gift, a wearable work of art, or a special piece for your home. The aesthetic is flawless and feels deeply soulful, like every corner holds a secret waiting to be discovered.

Owl & Kittycat is more than a boutique — it’s a destination. Carmel could use more shops like this, places that celebrate creativity, individuality, and wonder. Don’t...

More than anything, there’s a spirit here: a sense of welcome, delight in the refined and unexpected, and thoughtfulness that is incredibly rare. You can feel it in the way the space is designed, in the product mix, and in the good vibes.
