Karina Quiros calls the inception of Ola’ Mair Boutique “a delightful stroke of serendipity.” In an attempt to encourage her two daughters, Emma and Madisen, to dress up for a business meeting related to a different project, she had floated them the opportunity to come up with an idea for a new business in a fresh location. “Intrigued by the prospect, they quickly donned their most beautiful dresses and off we went,” she recalls.
That’s when the concept for a clothing store began to crystallize. “Their enthusiasm was contagious,” says Quiros. “We began looking for potential spaces and shared the thrilling news with my husband. That’s how Ola’ Mair was born.”
The first Ola’ Mair Boutique opened in Jensen Beach in April 2023. The name—whose Spanish and Latin roots loosely translate to “big wave”—perfectly encapsulates the dynamic surge of ideas and vibrant energy that fuels their brand.
Visitors to the boutique at the Nettles Island Marina enter a bohemian-minimalist interior that offers a delightfully curated collection of stylish pieces, on-trend accessories, and indulgent self-care products inspired by the area’s effortless resort lifestyle. Quiros’ thoughtful selections include local designers like Miami-based Carvalho Couture, a bold print–based lifestyle brand whose cabana cover-ups are a mix of preppy chic and globe-trotter, as well as women-owned and sustainably focused brands like Mavis by Herrera, which offers artisan handwoven bags made from recycled plastic bottles and upcycled leather.
“My approach revolves around my customers and their preferences,” Quiros says. “By engaging with them and understanding their life stories, I gain valuable insight into what they desire. I also keep a pulse on the latest trends to ensure our offerings are both stylish and relevant.”
Following the success of the Jensen Beach location, Quiros opened a store in downtown Lake Worth Beach in February 2024 and also has a seasonal presence at the Winter Equestrian Festival in Wellington.
