Lucky Poppy now open in Rehoboth Beach

Looking to provide a beautiful boutique experience, Alexandra Kovach du Pont has opened Lucky Poppy on Baltimore Avenue in Rehoboth Beach.

Located on the northeast corner of the intersection with North First Street, in what was most recently the longtime home of the J. Conn Scott Showhouse, Lucky Poppy offers a wide selection of (mostly) women’s clothing, jewelry, home accessories, gifts, board games and other items du Pont has curated for her customers.

“I wanted it to feel different,” said du Pont, a few days before the official opening. “A store full of pretty things. A place where a customer walks in and the store exudes happiness.”

Named after du Pont’s two dogs, Lucky Poppy offers brands from all parts of the world – Italy, England, United States, Nepal and more. There are big mirrors, lovely lighting, flower-themed wallpaper, soft furniture to sit in and lots of natural light.

Lucky Poppy is a place where customers can come with girlfriends, hang out and make some more friends while they shop, said du Pont.

“This is a community meeting place,” said du Pont, who has a background in marketing, interior design and event planning.

Rather than destroy an old beach house, du Pont said she brought in new art, added color and opened up a few rooms to bring the space all together.

“I love this spot, and I love the history,” said du Pont. “I wanted to keep that Rehoboth charm.”

Du Pont said she’s still figuring out the exact hours and days of operation, but she said she’s looking at 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., six days a week.
