Tabu Port Jeff

Since 1987, Tabu Boutique has been a cherished Long Island destination for unique, handcrafted jewelry, clothing, and thoughtfully curated gifts. Located in the heart of Port Jefferson Village, Tabu has become known not only for its distinctive style, but for its personalized shopping experience and sense of community.

In 2021, Dr. Kristen Hoffman took the reins, bringing her passion for storytelling, creativity, and connection into every facet of the boutique. Coming from a family of entrepreneurs—including her grandmother, one of the founding members of the Genovese Drugstore chain—Kristen values tradition, craftsmanship, and meaningful relationships. As a mother of two, wife of a United States Army veteran, and full-time English professor, she approaches Tabu as both a creative space and a place where people feel seen, confident, and inspired.

Today, Tabu Boutique offers more than beautiful products. It offers a full-service styling experience. Clients can book in-home personal color analysis on Long Island or in-store personal color analysis using the Brazilian-developed Drops de Cor method and the 12 Extended Seasons system to discover the colors that enhance their natural features. From there, services expand into closet clean-outs, personal styling, and personal shopping experiences, helping women build wardrobes that feel effortless, cohesive, and aligned with their lifestyle.

For those looking for something lasting, Tabu also specializes in permanent jewelry in Port Jefferson or permanent jewelry for events, offering custom-fit bracelets, anklets, and necklaces in 14k gold-filled, sterling silver, and solid gold options. Whether you're celebrating a milestone or simply treating yourself, the experience is designed to feel both elevated and personal.

Inside the boutique, you’ll find an eclectic mix of jewelry, women’s fashion, accessories, and home décor that celebrates artistry and individuality. From local Long Island makers to globally sourced pieces, everything is hand-selected with intention, designed to help you express your personal style with confidence.

Tabu is more than a boutique; it’s a destination for Long Island shopping, personal styling, and color analysis, a space where style meets substance, and where every visit feels like something special.
