Why Our Community Events Are More Than Just Shopping

At Esme and Elodie, we’ve always believed that retail should be about more than just transactions. We’re a boutique, yes—but we’re also a space where creativity, connection, and community thrive. Our curated events in the heart of downtown Renton are redefining what it means to shop small, and if you haven’t joined us yet, here’s why you absolutely should.

More Than a Boutique: A Community Hub in Renton

We’re proud to host some of the most engaging Renton boutique events around—each one thoughtfully designed to bring people together, spark creativity, and give you something memorable to walk away with (beyond the cute new outfit you will end up snagging).

Whether it’s a candle-making class, a 420-friendly craft night, or a body-positive embroidery workshop, our events are less about selling and more about building something beautiful with our community. Think cozy vibes, fun snacks, good conversation, and creative freedom. It’s like a friend’s house—but with better lighting and a really good selection of jeans.

Our monthly event calendar is packed with creative workshops, self-care sessions, and social nights that are perfect for solo adventurers, date nights, or girls’ nights out.

Renton might not always be first on the map for nightlife or artsy gatherings, but we’re changing that—one rhinestone-studded joint rolling tray at a time.

Supporting Local, While Meeting Your People

Every dollar spent at our events helps support women-led businesses, local artists, and independent makers. And beyond that? You get the chance to meet other people in Renton who also value creativity, humor, and showing up as your real self.

We’ve watched strangers become best friends over a tie-dye station, and seen women gain confidence from an outfit or workshop that made them feel powerful. That’s what makes this more than shopping—it’s a community in action.

Come As You Are

No pretenses here. Our events are made for real people—whether you’re a seasoned crafter, a curious newbie, or just someone who needs a little night out that’s chill, low-pressure, and affirming. We celebrate size inclusivity, sex positivity, cannabis culture, and self-expression without judgment.
