The women’s boutique, Mal Malouf, opens in the Plaza at Preston Center today, right across from Taco Diner. The shop offers designer-inspired clothing, jewelry and accessories.

The owner, Mal Malouf Parsons, has been in the retail industry for several years, learning the business from her father since she was 8 years old. She had been running her store in the old Vive a Paris storefront, closed for a couple of months and reopened it as Mal Malouf.
