2 min read

Tucked in right beside the beloved Rustic Table restaurant is an amazing boutique called Driftwood Mercantile. One step in the door and you can tell things are different here!


Their kids section takes up 1/4 of the store and features old school toys, clothing for all ages, baby gifts and books. Making this some of the best boutique shopping in Pawleys Island!

The go to boutique for unique hats...

They have their own hat designs, making these some of the most unique Pawleys Island hats you're going to find. The selection is great and quality is amazing!

Gifts Galore

Expect a curated mix that makes gifting easy and treating yourself even easier: coastal-inspired apparel, accessories, home accents, and locally made items that nod to the Hammock Coast’s laid-back style.


A few favorites to keep an eye out for:

  • Ultra soft sweatshirts for Ladies + kids

  • Gifts that feel personal (without being fussy)

  • Local art and handcrafted touches, including my favorite Pelligrino Pottery Pawleys Island Shell Coffee Mugs!

  • Home pieces that instantly warm up a space

  • Bs Knees Diffusers (that are flying off the shelves according to Driftwood Mercantile's adorable manger, Stephanie)

Say hello to Stephanie

One of the best parts of Driftwood Mercantile is the welcome you feel the moment you walk in. Manager Stephanie Haak is genuinely lovely—warm, helpful, and the kind of person who makes you feel like a regular even on your first visit. If you need a gift idea, a styling opinion, or just a friendly chat while you browse, Stephanie is the best.
