Dividing her time between the Hamptons and Palm Beach, clothing and jewelry designer Michelle Farmer was challenged to find anything unique in the way of resort wear. The solution? Opening her own store, and then another and then another....

All MFC boutiques are illuminated by beautiful, contemporary HelenBilt chandeliers by Helen Gifford to invoke the elegance and quality of the MFC brand.

The airy space, which she describes as "modern meets the '20s," features original tin ceilings, a fireplace, wooden floors, and skylights. Since the Flag Ship store in Palm Beach opened, she has expanded with more in Southampton, NY, at the The Biltmore in Arizona, and The Boca resort in Boca Raton.
