Mother-daughter retailer Saltwater officially opened in ceremony

Saltwater, a new independent retailer specializing in clothing, jewelry and gifts for mothers and young daughters, held its official ribbon-cutting ceremony this weekend in Fairfield.

Saltwater, at 45 Unquowa Road, was launched by self-described “mom entrepreneurs” Jessica Sokol and Sarah McBrair and offers, according to its website, “a focus on independent and inspiring brands that are both classic and contemporary.” The store is also planning special events, including an April 8 on-site watercolor family portrait demonstration by artist Jen Scully of Mack + Ro, and it plans to start hosting birthday parties later this year.

Although Saltwater began operations in January, Fairfield First Selectman Mike Tetreau officially welcomed the store to the town in a ceremony on March 25.
