RETAILER PROFILE
Luster makes bold, colorful
statements through its vast
collection of stylish goods.
BY CARLY MCFADDEN
Editorial Director
I
f there's an overarching theme
to Luster, it's delight and levity.
From its
colorful, witty
products to the cheerful faces that greet
shoppers, Luster provides a reprieve
from everyday anxieties and tasks.
The specialty gift shop is situated
in Shaker Heights on Cleveland's east
side. Tamar Brecher and Robin McCann,
co-owners, met each other through their
children. After years of volunteering and
executing school projects and events,
the two women recognized that they
work well together.
When they got wind of a space being
developed in the heart of the Van Aken
District - a trend-forward destination
full of local, independently-owned
shops and restaurants - Brecher and
McCann seized the opportunity and
opened Luster in 2018.
CURATED COLLECTIONS
Luster covers the gamut of retail
categories, including tabletop, home
décor, games and puzzles, jewelry and
accessories, and bath and body. Notable
brands include Marlyn Schiff jewelry,
Jonathan Adler, and handbags from
both Royln and Shiraleah.

The Luster customer is typically a
woman ranging anywhere from 30 to
75 years old. " She likes to go out. She's
giving gifts to teachers and coaches and
a friend on her 40th birthday. She likes
entertaining, " Brecher said.
