INJEANIUS

Making jean shopping fun, easier and more approachable for women since 2005, this wildly popular Boston boutique brings its incredible array of premium jeans and tops to Seaport. Owner Alison Barnard O’Brien, an Inc. magazine “30 Under 30” and one of “Boston’s 25 Most Stylish” as named by The Boston Globe, set the local fashion industry on fire when she opened Injeanius in Boston’s North End fifteen years ago. She has since become the region’s authority for all things denim, guiding thousands of loyal customers and fans who continue to look to her and her Injeanius staff for style tips and the latest in jeans trends. O’Brien is now setting her sights on Seaport with the opening of Injeanius this month at The Current. Here she will offer some of her favorite jeans from sustainable denim companies such as Citizens of Humanity and AG jeans, as well as various tops, t-shirts, sweatshirts and casual items. www.injeanius.com | Follow @injeaniusboston on Instagram and @injeanius on Facebook.

CUPCAKE MOJO (Opening September 19)

This passionate and talented mother/daughter baker duo from Boston’s South Shore are thrilled to be bringing their delicious confectionary creations to Seaport. Christina Nalband and her mother Maureen Fitzgerald showcased their cupcake wizardry on Food Network’s Cupcake Wars in 2012 and just two years later opened their first store in Weymouth, MA. It wasn’t long before they were attracting cupcake fans from throughout the region including Wahlburgers, which now carries their cupcakes at select locations. At The Current, Mojo will sell prepackaged mini versions of their cupcakes available in both traditional and innovative flavors.  Guests will be able to pre-order items on the store’s website and pick-up in store or visit the store and purchase cupcakes onsite.   www.cupcakemojo.com | Follow @cupcakemojo on Instagram and Facebook.

Independent Spirit, Unique Design, New England Roots & Fair Pricing are the cornerstones of the brand.

UWILA WARRIOR (Opening October 17)

Uwila Warrior, a local, female run underwear company, was founded on one simple belief: women of all sizes should not have to twist their bodies and lifestyles into underwear that only fits sometimes – they should have unapologetically colorful, beautiful, and comfortable underwear that fits every moment of their lives. The Boston based brand specializes in women’s silk and seamless underwear that is as comfortable as it is functional. Their store at The Current will have a customization station which will allow guests to add initials, fun sayings, or extra embellishments to their Uwila Warrior underwear purchase in a matter of minutes.  www.uwilawarrior.com | Follow @uwilawarrior on Instagram and Facebook

Organic Bath Co. (Opening in October)
Boston-based Organic Bath Co. makes skin and body care products that are clean, safe and effective. Founded in 2014 by business and life partners Gianne Doherty and Jay Weeks, the black, female owned brand and Boston Magazine Best of Boston 2020 winner uses only organic and natural ingredients to treat and nourish the skin. The brand was founded out of a need—when Gianne had a serious reaction to her favorite conventional beauty products, Jay went to work creating a highly effective moisturizer made wholly of clean ingredients. Inspired by Gianne’s globe-trotting childhood and the home remedies used by her Belizean mother, Jay turned to shea butter from Ghana, argan oil from Morocco and almond and jojoba oils, formulating a decadent body butter safe for Gianne’s newly sensitive skin. Today, that same formula is now Organic Bath Co.’s best-selling Drenched and is the base for all of its body butters. All Organic Bath Co.’s products are unisex, and use nothing unnecessary, harmful or synthetic—just what’s essential. www.organicbath.co | Follow @organicbath on Instagram and Facebook.

 As Seaport continues to keep safety as a top priority, numerous COVID-related precautions will be implemented at The Current. To maintain a safe and controlled environment, each store will be permitted to accommodate a limited number of guests at a time. In adherence with the City of Boston’s latest COVID safety guidelines, all staff and vendors at The Current will be required to wear a mask at all times, as are all patrons, and shoppers are highly encouraged to use a credit card for all transactions.
