About Us

Since 1987, Tabu Boutique has been a cherished Long Island destination for unique, handcrafted jewelry, clothing, and gifts. In 2021, Kristen took the reins, bringing her passion for storytelling, creativity, and community to every part of the shop.

Coming from a family of entrepreneurs, including her grandmother, one of the founding family members of the Genovese Drugstore chain, Kristen values connection, tradition, and craftsmanship. As a mother of two, wife of a United States Army veteran, and full-time English professor, she believes in building something meaningful and lasting.

At Tabu 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 global artisans, each piece is hand-selected to inspire joy and tell a story.

Tabu is more than a boutique; it is a community hub where style, creativity, and connection come together. Stop by to explore the latest arrivals, discover your next favorite piece, and experience why so many have called Tabu a part of their lives for generations.
